1. Tarte Aux Fruits
Delight in the colorful tarte aux fruits, where fresh fruit crowns a buttery pastry base filled with luxurious Chantilly cream. Available in both petite and full sizes, these treats are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the taste.
2. Éclair
No Parisian dessert tour is complete without tasting an éclair. This iconic French choux pastry is elegantly long and filled with either rich custard or pastry cream, then topped with a smooth fondant. Interestingly, 'éclair' translates to 'lightning' in French—perhaps a nod to the speed at which these treats disappear!
3. Paris Brest
Created to commemorate the Paris-Brest bicycle race in 1891, the Paris Brest is a circular delight filled with praline-flavored cream encased in choux pastry. With every bite, this pastry pays homage to its historical roots and its signature shape.
4. Macaron
Parisian macarons are a timeless delicacy, offering a myriad of flavors enveloped in an airy meringue and almond base. Distinct from their coconut cousins, these sophisticated sweets are a quintessential addition to any dessert lineup.
5. Tarte Au Citron
The tarte au citron is an elegant lemon tart featuring a crisp pastry shell filled with creamy lemon curd. This dessert skillfully balances tang with just the right sweetness, making it a refreshing treat.
6. Mille Feuille
Known also as the Napoleon, the mille-feuille is a luscious vanilla or custard slice made of layered puff pastry interspersed with silky pastry cream. Its flaky texture and sweet filling create a delightful culinary experience.
7. Tarte Tatin
Savor the sensual caramel notes of a tarte Tatin, a unique upside-down pastry of caramelized fruit, sugar, and butter. Originally served at Hotel Tatin, it pairs beautifully with a dollop of tart crème fraîche.
8. Choux à La Crème
These cream puffs, baked to fluffy perfection, boast a hollow inside filled with smooth whipped cream or custard. When topped with chocolate, they become profiteroles, but various toppings, such as fruit or caramel, can enhance this delightful treat.
9. Croissant
Considered a hallmark of French patisserie, the buttery, flaky croissant can be enhanced with toppings like fruit, chocolate, or fondant. This versatile delicacy is sure to satisfy any craving.
10. Petits Four
Petits fours are delicate bite-sized pastries, perfect for afternoon tea. These delightful confections can be sweet, with a glossy glaze and crispy biscuit, or embrace savory notes for a balanced treat.
