L'art Du Sucre

Sugar is turned into sculpture at George Larnicol, just outside of the Odéon metro stop.

 These kouignettes are a specialty of Bretagne, and I believe this is one of the only places to find them in Paris.  They seem to be made almost entirely of butter and sugar, although they come in many intriguing flavors (apricot, plain, chocolate, etc).  This is what I ended up buying here, one apple and one chocolate.

You can never forget the chocolate, bien sur! 

Chocolate with candied fruit.

Honey.  This is a close-up, and has been turned upside down.  Look close, and in the spoon you will see me, my fingers curled around my camera. (No, I did not intend for this when I took the picture, but - awesome)

And lastly, a beautiful pyramid of macarons. The store was also full of shoe-shaped, champagne-shaped,  and person-shaped chocolates.
