I know I've said this before, but I've become more and more fascinated by the current creativity in the world of Patisserie. How Christophe Adam can create such incredible and diverse pastry from a base of something as simple and essentially slightly boring as an eclair will always amaze me. His pastry shop is aptly named L'Eclair de Genie and is situated in the heart of the Marais. He uses eclairs like a canvas, and I've never seen glazes mastered better, so I'll definitely be buying his book soon to recreate his delicious eclairs. My favorites are the salted caramel, raspberry, passion fruit and the dark chocolate eclairs.
I can only hope he'll open a location in New York soon, but in the meantime find L'Eclair de Genie here in Paris:

Needless to say there is a vast array of different types of macarons throughout Paris and throughout the world at this point. I've always loved them as a pretty gift or as a small (or not so small) snack with tea or coffee in the afternoon, but after a while all macarons seemed more or less similar, until I found these.
I had heard about a new wave of coffee shops taking over Paris and giving Paris a bit of the coolness of the New York coffee scene, and I couldn't have been happier to have a slice of cheesecake and a proper iced latte at The Broken Arm with Bea. The Broken Arm is half concept store, half coffee shop and has the most relaxed atmosphere for an afternoon hangout and capuccino in the Marais.
