I'm Old Fashioned ( as Johnny Mercer Once Penned) and Proud of It...

If you love old fashioned things, then one must visit a wonderful sweet shop founded in 1761....
A la Mère de Famille

Paris’s oldest sweet shop, founded in 1761 and still operating in its original location, is a marvellous little store that hasn’t changed much over the past 250 years.
Here, chocolate lovers will find ice cream in several enticing flavors, among them chocolate sorbet, chocolate-mint, and chocolate with candied orange and a hint of vodka.
Of course, there are lots of chocolates, candied fruit, calissons and other confections too!
The company now has several other locations in Paris, but a visit to the original shop is a must for lovers of Paris and chocolate alike.
