Anyway, back to Paris… I love strolling along the Rue Saint-Honore: gaping at the amazing window shopping, peeking inside the grand high palace of snottiness that is the Hotel Costes, or dreaming of my future steamer trunk at Goyard.  A fantastic place to refresh oneself is Jean-Paul Hevin Chololatier, at 231 rue Saint-Honore (www.jphevin.com), a tea room and pastry shop.  The pastries and chocolates are to die for, and I stock up on bars of chocolates from places in the world that you never even suspected grew cacao.  This time I settled on chocolate from Cuba.  These bars of chocolate will, upon returning home, be turned into chocolate souffles and gateaux for guests at my dinner parties.
