What about the Tropézienne originate in Saint-Tropez And the Tourte aux blettes (local speciality in Nice); it's a very delicious tart made with swiss chard leaves (yes! Believe it or not, swiss chard...the green thing), and toasted pine nuts, golden raisins, apple and crème pâtissière

Oh yeah! Now those are my kind of desserts!

I love anything Parisian

Amazing

All of these desserts look so decadent .

Thanks

Mmmmmm cant decide which one to pick im gonna tru them all one by one :) yumy

I'm French and I love cake (!) but have never seen or heard of the first one, the cruller?! Defo not a French classic. The second one looks odd too - tarte normande doesn't look like that. All the other ones I know of and love! Oh and nothing beats bakery croissants!! :)
