This year, the Easter composition from the Hotel Barrière Fouquet’s Paris celebrates the splendor of the City of Light. Anthony Coquereau, the Pastry Chef of the iconic Parisian Residence, has designed an elegant creation reminiscent of the famous Wallace fountains, essential symbols of the capital.
An ingenious creation, both delicious and delicate. Entirely made of dark chocolate, this delightful fountain features a clever opening mechanism. You simply have to pull a tab to release tasty chocolate pearls. The pearls are a delight thanks to their unique composition of milk chocolate with fleur de sel and dark chocolate with spirulina. This bold combination promises an exceptional gustatory experience. While the milk chocolate pearls with fleurde sel offer a tender comfort, the dark chocolate pearls with spirulina surprise with their subtle mineral touch.
The finesse of this creation will delight both children and adults alike. As well as being a delicious treat, this creation is also a delicate work of art faithfully recreating all the details of a Wallace fountain: the four caryatids are represented with precision, proudly carrying a magnificent dome adorned with a point.
