Back in 2010 we made a pilgrimage to A l'Etoile d'Or.
 |
| Not far from the Moulin Rouge |
 |
| is A l'Etoile d'Or 30 rue Fontaine 75009 |
 |
| Run by the irrepressible Denise Acabo, the sweetest woman in Paris |
 |
| It is a genuine treasure trove of delights |
 |
| from all over France |
 |
| A l'Etoile d'or was the sole agent for the exalted Bernachon in Paris |
You can watch a video of David Lebovitz visiting Denise.
She is so full of energy, and so delightful, charming and enthusiastic with every one of her customers. I hope Denise was not injured, nor any of her customers, and that she and her store recover fully from this.
Update July 2014 by David Lebovitz- progress is slow, and it is uncertain whether or not A l'Etoile d'Or will reopen or not.
Update October 2015 by David Lebovitz- the happy news we've all bee waiting for, A l'Etoile d'Or will reopen on November 3 2015.

Oh no - that's so sad: I do hope she is alright. I went there and had a lovely time a few years back. Such a treasure chest of delights - I bought the nicest caramels.
So sad to hear that. Hope everyone was ok.
Oh too sad!
What a delightful shop! I hope it survived the explosion and everyone is safe.
Let's hope all recover quickly and the shop is open again soon.
This is sad news, indeed! I hope people weren't hurt!
Oh! That is sad! I repeat what everyone has said, I hope all is ok.
I must go back and visit the places I'd missed. But hopefully this place still stands after the explosion and that it will be rebuilt.
Yikes! Scary times for everyone.
I can see why you are dreaming of France.
Oh how sad. I have a feeling she will come back from that.
Such a lovely shop. I sure hope that nobody was severely injured.
Wow how shocking-she is supposed to be okay. Thank goodness no-one died.
