That’s really funny story and people addicted to chocolate like me or, event more, French people will laugh. I went to the shop in central station, next to the passage, and I ordered a chocolate croissant, that I payed 3.50€. The girl instead to give me the croissant give me pain au chocolat, so I make her notice that and she’s insist that what she was giving to me was a croissant.

Excellent coffee and chocolate croissant. The croissant is soft, buttery and crispy on the outside with the right amount of chocolate. Oh, did I mention the sumptuous chocolate that comes with the coffee? Head over here and get your hop on / hop off deal or...
