Postcards from Paris: Cafe Angelina . . . is right next door to Le Meurice . . . in fact, it shares a wall . . . so conveniently close . . . do you know what it is known for?

This is pastry heaven . . . a place where you can experience death by chocolate or attempt suicide by sweets  . . . just inside the front door.

If you can resist & manage to walk past the pastries & desserts, the “salon de the” in the rear serves . . . the most decadent hot chocolate . . . like  a melted bar of dark chocolate  . .  . as  if that were not enough, it comes with a sinful side of fresh whipped cream.

By the way  . . . did I mention that ALL these delights are available to go? Until they are sold out, of course. Go early in the day.

Postcards from Paris: there are many grand dames in Paris . . . famous hotels in prime locations . . . directly across from the Tuileries Gardens, down the street from the Louvre Museum . . . do you recognize this one?
Hint: it appeared in Woody Allen’s movie “Midnight in Paris”

The plush lobby of the Le Meurice Hotel welcomes you into the splendor that was Versailles. The “casual” Le Dali is open all day for drinks and meals , while the Michelin 3 Star Le Meurice Restaurant (not shown) accepts reservations 5 months in advance due to the popularity of Chef Yannick Alleno’s  Terroir Parisien gastronomy.
