Candy Tour, Paris
A l’Etoile d’Or; 30 Rue Fontaine, 75009 Paris
Delights including, but not limited to, quince jelly in a spruce box consumed by licking, like the original Baby Bottle Pop.
Karamell; 15 Rue des Martyrs, 75009 Paris. Swedes eat about 50 kilos of candy per capita per year. That’s so much candy that the government has even considered introducing a candy tax (http://www.thelocal.se/25854/20100401/). Suffice to say, they know what they’re doing.
Fouquet, 36 Rue Laffitte, 75009 Paris. Best. Caramels. Ever. Salty and chewy covered with delicious hard sugar glaze.
G. Detou; 58 rue Tiquetonne, 75002 Paris. I saved the best for last. This is without a doubt one of the best candy stores ever. Buy the candied kumquats and if you really know what you’re doing ask to order candy in bulk from their store room.
