Berthillion Ice Cream
Summer time has arrived and it is time to enjoy some ice cream. When I think of Paris, ice cream is not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact I would never consider Paris to be an ice cream haven-gelato in Italy yes, delicious pastries in Paris.
For years I have heard about Berthillion and always just shrugged it off. When I was in Paris last, I was on a food tour and so I decided to give the ice cream shop a try. Well there is a reason I have read about Berthillion so much. Their ice cream is unbelievable-creamy and full of flavor.
Where else but Paris can you get prune ice cream with armagnac.
I have yet to witness it, but it is rumored the lines can get quite long at the shop in the summer days. The ice cream is sold through out the city at different retailers.
If you want to visit the original store it is on Ile St. Louis which is worth a visit itself.
