Aux Merveilleux de Fred

One of several Parisian outposts of the famous Lille patisserie, this shop specializes in merveilleux, mounds of coated meringue. The shop itself matches the look and feel of all others, with a sleek black facade, counters and display cases in Alicante marble, a bohemian crystal chandelier, beige marble floor tiling with tiny black cabochons, and murals and frescoes inspired by 18th-century art; where you can watch merveilleux being made. Merveilleux is an airy, layered meringue mound coated with sweet whipped cream and enveloped in a variety of coatings, from chocolate flakes to caramelized hazelnuts. Excellent brioche is also available, but it takes second fiddle to the merveilleux.
