Flandrin Chocolates in Nantes

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?
