Think of a delicious éclair! Now imagine having several options of it in a stylish colorful store that has reinvented this classic French pastry and offers unexpected flavors according to Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer collections!!!!!

Every season, new flavors! The Autumn/Winter collection, for example, is loaded with chocolate, coffee, walnut, pistachio, etc. While in summertime they bring refreshing versions with lemon, raspberry and passion fruit.

Besides the éclairs, L’Éclair de Génie, also offers many sorts of sweets, such as chocolate bars, chocolate hazelnut butter, pots of caramels and crunchy caramelized hazelnuts (good choices for gifts)!

Prices ​​are fairly high, but it is worth every penny and calorie. The éclairs range from 4.50€ to 6.00€. The candy boxes (2 to 16 units) cost between 3€- 23€. They also have wonderful kits to sell on special holidays (Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day).

I watched the éclairs production at “La Fabrique”, their shop responsible for producing and distributing all pastries in Paris. Of course I tasted some of them!

La Fabrique is located on 32 rue Notre Dame des Victoires, 75002. For other shops addresses click here.

The person responsible for taking éclairs to the next level is the well-known pastry chef, Christophe Adam, head of legendary French épicerie Fauchon for more than 15 years. In 2012 he opened his first L’Éclair de Génie boutique in the heart of Paris. Nowadays there are six boutiques across the city + 3 in Japan and he is now expanding his business to Hong Kong.

Please, please, when is it coming to Brazil? :)
