Pâtisserie chocolaterie palais des gourmets in Beaune, Burgundy, France

December in France is as dreamy as it sounds.

During Nicole’s birthday trip through Beaune, which is Southeast of Paris, we stumbled on this quaint chocolatier, Pâtisserie chocolaterie palais des gourmets.

OMG! I was like an American kid in a French café. Oh wait. That’s exactly how it was. I didn’t want to leave.

Beaune is the wine capital of Burgundy in the Côte d’Or department in eastern France. It is located between Lyon and Dijon.

Beaune is one of the key wine centers in France, and the center of Burgundy wine production and business. The annual wine auction of the Hospices de Beaune is the primary wine auction in France.
