Try the chocolates here with the tea-flavored ganaches inside.  The boutique is gorgeous with beautiful hardwoods and tempting displays.

The “iberico” ham here is exceptional!  They also carry a large assortment of fine foods, including candies and chocolates.  There are a few tables and chairs for dining inside.

I fell in love with the breads from this bakery in the 6th Arrondissement near Luxembourg Gardens.  They produce organic breads, full of grains and fruits, English brown bread, scones and muffins.  They have a few tables inside, too.

This cheese shop on the corner of Rue de Grenelle and Boulevard Raspail has an amazing assortment of cheeses, ripened to perfection.  I didn’t find the staff to be particularly friendly or helpful when I was there, but I quickly forgot about it as I was enjoying the wonderful cheeses that night.  The Brillat-Savarin was at its prime and the goat cheese was superb.
