ÉCLAIR
FRANCE
It does not get any more
French than an éclair.
You cannot walk into a
patisserie in France without seeing
a lineup of these elegant pastry
fingers. Believed to be invented by
Marie-Antoine Carême, a famous
French chef in the 19th century, the
traditional éclair consists of a crispy
choux bun exterior that is glazed with
a shiny chocolate ganache and filled
with a heavenly vanilla or chocolate
pastry cream. Today you are spoiled
with multiple variations, colours and
flavour combinations to choose from.
