Éclairs reinvented
French Revolution
Why locals love it
There is something almost magical about a place selling its own interpretation of a single product - the French éclair. And when you insist on using only natural ingredients, the end result being a gourmet treat, success is an easy job. The 8 different variations surely caused a little revolution in the collective consciousness notion of éclair.
Why you should visit it
After a visit to the Athenaeum, I cannot think of a better way to have a little break and feed your sweet tooth, but going to the French Revolution shop and ordering a selection of éclairs. As this is a takeaway, hold on tight to the precious box and head to the benches in front of the Athenaeum. Now just sit back and enjoy.
Special tip
Try the caramel au beurre salé and the pistachio versions. You will most certainly plan a visit to the Athenaeum the following day.
