When people think of Paris, they think of it as being the city of love. When I think of Paris, I think of it as being the city of CARBS. Oh yeaaah. Think of all the buttery croissants, flaky pastries, indulgent hot chocolates and creamy eclairs to name a few! I decided to put together all the sweet and carb-filled treats that I have tried during my trip to Paris, as well as some that I had saved on Instagram but never got round to trying!
