Then we had cherries (Rainier and Napoleon)
Stopped at a Patessiere and then a Fromagerie for tasting
There was a Rocquefort, some goat cheese and a couple of hard cheeses as well as some quince and Mary Ellen's homemade tapenade- olives, anchovies (rinsed), olive oil, capers, garlic. The two best things were the soft cheese and the homemade tapenade.
Macaroons were brought from Italy with Catherine deMedici. In the 19th Century, the French macaroon was created.
Storer is the oldest bakery in France. When a Polish princess married the King, she brought her pastry chef and he invented Baba a Rum and the Well of Love.
We got to try (goose) rillettes and (duck) foie gras at Godard, a shop that specializes in goose.
A last bite was the "Cushion of Lyons". An almond paste in the outside with a chocolate sauce and Curaçao.
