If you visit Paris the next time and you haven't yet been at Berthillon, you will need to pay a visit to the best ice cream parlor in Paris, hands down. I could rant for a long time about what makes Berthillon the best ice cream. Three generations of Berthillon's fabricate ice cream at the same location since 1954. All their ice creams are made by hand in small batches, fresh from scratch everyday and best of all, they only use butter, cream, eggs and natural ingredients. Admits many different flavors, Berthillon holds a few secrets know to insiders only. Let me start with the three highly-sought-after flavors that are only available during short periods of the year. Marron Glacee (chestnut) is only available during the three winter months. Same goes for the Pain d'Epice (honeycake). During a few summer months, they do feature the Fraises du Bois (wild strawberries) which is a true sensation. But the one flavor that makes Berthillon an ice cream icon amongst Gourmets around the world is their Caramel au Beurre Sale! This is a creamy caramel ice cream that is made with salted Normandy butter. The sweet caramel blended with the salted butter creates a taste sensation that is nothing short of addictive. If you try that one, I promise you, you will return to Paris just to eat that ice cream again.
