Paris in June

I have a passion for cooking and while in Paris I found the ultimate shop for cooks. G. Detou carries cooking and baking supplies in bulk. Here you will find enormous bars of chocolate from French chocolate makers, caramel chips and salted caramels, flower extracts, candied violets and citrus peels, vanilla beans, flavored fleur de sels and sugars. A variety of spices, nuts and nut oils, flours, pistachio and rose pastes, mustards, unusual honeys, jellies and flavored vinegars. The selection is overwhelming and you will want to bring home many of these unusual food items as gifts for friends.

What woman does not adore beautiful lingerie. I found a boutique that has lovely lingerie but is reasonably priced, Princess Tam Tam. Pretty color palettes and fun prints with simple lace details. They also carry swimwear and sleepwear.

The oldest candle manufacturer in the world, Cire Trudon, was the royal purveyor of candles for Louis XVII. Today, they make candles in over 30 colors. There are scented and unscented candles in tapers and shapes in the likes of animals, french cheeses and the Eiffel Tower. All candles are natural, made with vegetable waxes and contain no paraffin
