Before I begin, I have to pop in and present a little subdivision of my humble blog: Mimi's World Tour! ^__^ This is pretty much taken from my various trips over the years, and seeing as I've been a nut for documenting my sweets purchases, I have plenty of material as it is. And to celebrate this little offshoot, I even made a special logo... and no, that is not me. That hideous pink and white thing is supposed to be an apron and turned into an unsightly dress, so no, I would never wear that either. And yup, you can tell my skills are nonexistent. Still have to make something up though... but without further ado: the first post on the World Tour.

Seriously, I had read that this place was closed until Aug 15th and I, being in Paris from around the 8th to the 21st of August, could NOT wait for it to reopen. Of course, I didn't want to go on the first day like a complete idiot (especially when that could mean nothing would be made yet), so I went on the second. ;DThis, then, is Stohrer, a pastry shop opened up in the mid-1700s by, get this, Louis XV's pastry chef! From my photo (which I really do like, since it makes it look... so palatial), you can probably see what you're able to purchase here: finer pastries and elaborate cakes. You're treated to an amazing and tantalizing variety of chocolate tortes in various sizes, fruit tarts, and other cakes "à l'ancienne" along with homemade ice creams outside in the freezer. There is a more savoury part on the other side serving I don't remember what.
