Chocolate always springs into our minds when we think of Easter treats. Chocolate, bunnies, hens and eggs and other wonderful creations are to be seen in sweet shops everywhere, but at Flavors of Paris decided to shake things up a little and seek out some super cool and creative Easter pastries for 2019. Here is a small selection of some Parisian treats which charmed us this year:
