A chocolatier to cherish

Of all the chocolatiers’ windows in Paris, Au Chat Bleu at 85 Boulevard Haussmann never fails to lure me in. It reminds me of an old-fashioned sweet shop I thought only existed in England – but it’s also very, very French. It brims with seasonal specialities and delicacies you never knew existed, alongside traditional pâtes de fruits, colourful bonbons in jars and novelties, such as the chocolate bouchées inspired by the founders’ beloved Blue Persian cats. The perfect place to stock up on gifts to bring back from your travels (or simply treat yourself).
