I had dessert every night when I was on vacation.
Every.  Single. Night!
I also had a glass of rosé with every meal (except breakfast) but that’s a story for another day.
Desserts are like rainbows and perfect sunny days, they make everything better.
We settled on Boulangerie Julien after several days of boulangerie hopping in search of the perfect bread.
Apparently the baguettes here are award winning. The croissant and pain au chocolat has won awards too.

The location in Beaubourg was half a block from where we stayed, and they have the best baguettes I’ve ever tasted.

The shopkeepers were amazingly nice and accommodating (Aren’t French people supposed to be rude?).
We went by later in the day once, in search of dessert; I was intimidated by the sheer awesomeness and variety of pastries.

It all looked so good and colourful, like art pieces.

I chose the prettiest piece that caught my eye; a slice of raspberry mille-feuille.

It was amazing! I don’t have the right food-description vocabulary to describe how marvellous it was.
It had layers of light flaky puff pastry, tart raspberry sauce, pastry cream, and real fresh raspberries.

It’s one of the best desserts I’ve had.
It was definitely the perfect way to end a perfect day.
I still dream about that dessert sometimes.
