Weekend in Paris #7

Chocolat chaud, an artists' co-op, and black sesame pastries.

Weekend in Paris is a bonus series for paid subscribers—it’s one part recap of my off-duty fun as a baking school student, one part dishing about (temporary) expat life. Bienvenue!

After a gorgeous “false spring” here in Paris, it suddenly got chilly again. (I know, cue the tiny violins.) So when a friend arrived from out of town this weekend, I knew just where to take her to warm up.

In today’s letter, you’ll find:

• 🍫 A tale of dueling hot chocolates,

• 💎 Visiting a jewel box of an artist’s cooperative, and

• 🥐 My order at a pint-sized French-Taiwanese boulangerie.
