L'Heure Gourmand

There are so many lovely, even ecstatically delicious, pastry shops in Paris but not so many that invite you to come in, sit down, and enjoy that fresh berry crumble with a hot chocolate or a pot of tea. Even fewer are hidden away in a pedestrian only passageway in the heart of the St. Germain-des-Pres. This colorful little cafe and tea shop offers the most delicious baked goods such as berry-bursting fresh berry crumbles. Pair any (or all!) of that with a good, stiff frothy coffee drink or a pot of tea and you have yourself a delicious respite from the frantic city. The location, once you've found it, is easy as pie to get to. It's tucked into a pedestrian only passageway. That is what adds to its magic and also makes you feel like you've sprinted away to some tea and cake fairyland cafe.
