Aurelien Cohen's ephemeral patisserie in Paris, a real treat!

Aurélien Cohen, the Pastry Chef we first discovered on his blog, then on Instagram, and who now has a beautiful patisserie in Asnière, has decided to treat Parisians and tourists alike for one blessed month. So we're off to Paris's 6th arrondissement to discover the chef's ephemeral Pâtisserie, in place of Fou de Pâtisserie on rue de Seine.

From March 28 to April 28, 2024, it's a chance to plunge into the sweet (and savory) world of Aurélien Cohen, who unveils his well-known treasures as well as exclusive creations or those revisited for the occasion.

The program features unique treats, specially created for the event, alongside the unmissable bestsellers from his Asnières boutique. In addition to pastries and sandwiches, you can also discover a selection of chocolates, the fruit of the know-how acquired in the Asnières laboratory, inaugurated last September.

So, what's on offer? You're sure to fall for the famous Demoiselle vanille tartlet, a creation that's both sweet and elegant. But temptation could well come from elsewhere: the Demoiselle choco-noisette et passion, or perhaps the surprising Demoiselle fraise-basilic, of unequalled lightness and freshness. We were particularly taken with the pistachio praline tartlet, whose photo speaks for itself. We also really liked the calamansi entremets, which should win over all lemon tart fans.

But it's not just cakes you can eat at Aurélien, you can also have lunch. Generous sandwiches give us the excuse to continue with some good cakes... We're tempted by the moist cakes, not forgetting the decadent brownie for chocolate addicts. When it comes to cookies, we warn you: to try it is to love it: caramel, peanut or pistachio praline, with crunchy pistachios in a cookie that's still soft, it's divine. You can accompany your sweet treats with smoothies and fresh homemade juices in a red fruit version, or calamanci for those with a tangy taste.

We remind you that this patisserie is short-lived, and some of them are not in Asnières, so if you want to treat yourself, don't miss your chance. You've got until April 28 and not a day longer, so don't miss out... Prices range from €7.50 to €8.20 for pastries, €11.50 for sandwiches and €4 for a slice of cake.
