The Diamond at Flandrin Chocolates

Macaron window display at Flandrin Chocolates
I spent this past weekend in Nantes, and along with some sight-seeing, I was much in favor of finding ‘des Muscadines’, a regional specialty of chocolates filled with grapes and wine. I stopped into Flandrin, a tiny patisserie on Rue Gén Buat, with a not-so-tiny macaron display.
They had no muscadines, but that hasn't stopped me before. In addition to a free chocolate of our choice (I always jump for buttered caramel and fleur de sel combinations), I decided on a few praline milk chocolates and one of Natalie Flandrin's favorites, the Diamond (cognac-filled dark chocolate). After all, who needs Muscadet?
delicous, makes me want to be in france eating incredible desserts!
