A l'Etoile d'Or box

Best gift I have ever received. EVER.

Would you like to take a peek inside?

Sure you do.

Caramels from Jacques Genin, chocolate bars from Bernachon and out-of-this-world chocolates with oozing caramel, fleur de sel and crunchy sugar cookies from Franck Kestener – all encased in a golden box from Denise Acabo’s shop in Paris, A l’Etoile d’Or.

    Sorry guys, but it is impossible to share these!

    Sandra – Nice touch with the braiding! I guess you win.

    Ruth – You’re welcome. Make sure to set aside a few hours for the visit.

    Dear Cenk,
    I’m so happy to get your message. I answered on my blog but I was not sure if you will come back to see it so I came here to say “hello”.
    I don’t know the brother of your friend told you I read your blog after you visited us and Denise got a PC for Christmas from her kids so she started to use internet. I gave her your name of blog and she read your article and she loved your photos! She told me many times “oh my, he was so cute”. So you can ask her to adopt you, maybe it will works ;-D
    I hope to see you again !
