Place de la Madeleine is a wonderful area for food lovers, especially for those of us who love chocolate! A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the signature awnings of Fauchon. Fauchon has a tearoom, as well as another shop for buying all of its goodies a little further down. My personal favorites are the dark chocolate covered almonds. They cost more than lunch, but they sure make delicious nibbles for the whole trip!

Hédiard, on the other side of the Place de Madeleine, has the most fabulous fruit baskets and an extensive selection of teas. In these markets, one can also purchase truffles, caviar, and other French delicacies. The French have a wonderful custom of bringing gifts to their hosts, and Hédiard offers some wonderful suggestions.
