We have been cozy and drinking many hot beverages this winter to stay warm, but spring has officially sprung, and so have we! Dive into some of our favorite seasonal activities and discover a Parisien spring, an experience you won’t want to miss.

• Sweet Easter Treats: Spring is the hallmark of many events and holidays, and Easter is widely celebrated throughout France. As part of this tradition, many chocolatiers will participate in creating artisan spring and Easter-inspired treats for the public to enjoy. For chocolate lovers seeking a luxury experience, we highly recommend the Austrian chocolate shop and tea room, Angelina, created by Antoine Rumpelmayer in 1903. Located on rue de Rivoli, this elegant chocolate shop will surely indulge your palate and fill the air with sweet aromas of chocolate on a sunny Spring day.
