Paris-Bruxelles chocolates


Under normal circumstances I would have written a post about Saint Nicolas. But today is a not the usual December 6 festive day in our family. My husband's mother passed away, and we are saying goodbye to her today. She was an extraordinary and incredible lady, beautiful and very special. She loved all aspects of life, and Belgian chocolates were one of her many very favorite things.
Here are two window displays of Belgian Marcolini chocolates, one in rue Scribe in Paris, the other on Brussels' Sablon Square.

    Marcolini is one of the best chocolatier of the world, we also like his chocolate but a bit expensive.

    Greetings,
    Filip

    I am sorry about your loss. I think your mother-in-law would appreciate your photos about chocolate though. I love Belgian chocolates and try to find some here if I can. Yesterday I found a box in a large store – they are the best!

    Saying goodbye to a loved one is a difficult time. Remembering happy times, like her love of chocolate to certainly being in the right frame of mind. So sorry, Janey

    Anni,

    I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother in law. I lost my m-i-l about 4 years ago and I miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

    I bet she is sitting on a cloud eating a piece of the mouth watering chocolate even as I write this. :)

    Take care!

    Bonjour Anni
    Une bien triste disparition juste avant les fêtes. Là ou ta Belle Mère est maintenant, je suis sure qu'elle mange encore des chocolats Belges.

    Condolences Anni, a sad happening at any time, but more so at Christmas. My Mum passed three years ago on the 8th Dec and we still miss her so much especially at Christmases when we're all together.
