Paris Apartment Rentals Offer You Easy Access to the Sweet Side of Paris

Paris is known for its pastries and sweets. Sure, you can buy “French-style” desserts here in the US, but you’ve simply got to taste them in the French capital. For easy access to all of these sweet delicacies, you’ll want to book a Paris rental apartment. Listings of Paris apartment rentals are easy to find online, and they ensure that you’ll be able to order goodies for take-away to enjoy in the comfort of your home-away-from-home.

Here are some sweets that may sound familiar to you, but are nevertheless, delightfully unique to the American tongue:

• Macarons—They are made to sheer perfection at Pierre Hermé, without being to hard or chewy or sweet. In fact, two light little macarons form the outer sandwich to a creamy, rich ganache. They come in exotic flavors, like jasmine flower with jasmine tea, lime and red berries, and strawberry and wasabi. Find them at 72 Rue Bonaparte, 75006, 6th Arrondissement.
• Cupcakes—Berko bakes up pretty little cupcakes that are moist and buttery. They are about half the size of the common, US cupcakes, but they really pack a punch. With a base of either vanilla or chocolate, it’s the buttery-est buttercream, meringue, and cream cheese frostings that will do you in. You’ll also find other baked delights at Berko that you’ll find familiar, baked up with an American twist, including cheesecake, red velvet cake, and tartelettes. Berko is located at 23 rue Rambuteau, 75004, 4th Arrondissement.
• Hot Chocolate—Conjuring up scenes from the movie Chocolat, Café Angelina serves up hot chocolate (called L’ africaine) that is so thick that when sold by the bottle, it has the viscosity of ketchup. But when you heat it up, it has an unbelievably dark, smooth, rich flavor that doesn’t knock you over in sweetness. Savor it, sip by sip, in Café Anglina’s lovely tearoom adjacent to the Louvre, complete with waitresses dressed as French maids. Café Angelina can be found at 226 Rue de Rivoli, 75001, 1st Arrondissement.
• clair—The humble éclair is something fantastic when baked by Stohrer, a bakery that has been in business since the 1730s—The founder, Nicolas Stohrer, was the pastry chef to Louis XV). Try their coffee-flavored éclairs, filled with the richest cream and icing you’ve ever tasted in an éclair. Find Stohrer, the oldest pastry shop in Paris, at 51 Rue Montorgueil, 75002, 2nd Arrondissement.

02, 2nd Arrondissement.

East these delicacies inside the shops, or take them away to savor later at your Paris rental apartment. Fine pastries and sweets are part of Parisian life.
