We bought 4 Eclairs ( long french filled with cream cakes) at the eclair de genie 3rd floor of the BHV. Well tasty but very very sweet that the strong Aroma of passion fruit and yuzu evaporated.

My gourmand friend in California said I had to visit this shop, and I am so glad I followed Nancy's advice. There is a large selection to choose from, and the clerk was very helpful in recommending the most popular - the dark chocolate (best seller, I think), the caramel (his favorite) and the yuzu flavored one (my first choice and the third best seller). I was blown away by the clean tasting citrus in the yuzu eclair. It gave me a smile for the next hour just thinking about it. They cost around 4.5 Euros, but you're in Paris, dammit - have the best eclair of your life!

I cannot stop by Paris without visiting one of the branches of l'éclair de génie. Their éclairs are delicious, each with a unique flavor, you just want to try them all!
