The famous pastry shop Meert, founded in Lille in 1761, has done what all fancy chocolate and pastry shops now do: they’ve opened a storefront in the Marais. This one is only 100 yards from the Picasso Museum (closed for restoration — so not great timing but eventually the location will prove lucrative).
The French press has given the Meert venture a good deal of attention. The shop is handsome, naturally, and the displays are gorgeous. If you love wildly sweet waffle-pastries you’ll be delighted. I happily ate two bites of the luscious-looking confection I selected, filled with gooey essence of spice-bread (or gingerbread if you prefer). But I felt dizzy from sugar high before I could finish it.
