Mademoiselle & Chocolat

Despite the rainy weather on Sunday afternoon (it actually snowed around 10am, but I was fast asleep in my warm bed), I was still able to enjoy the city and take advantage of the many wonders of Montpellier!

To start off the afternoon, I went to a lovely little museum that had a free exhibit called "Adieu la Suisse." This culturally enriching exhibit featured photographs by several different artists. The photographs depicted different places in Switzerland. Some focused on nature, and others explored the wonder of day-to-day activities. (One set of pictures delved into the interesting world of la poste. (a post office) The exhibit got me excited about my upcoming summer travels to Switzerland!

After this culturally enriching experience, we met up with some friends and I discovered the wonders of a place called "Mademoiselle & Chocolat" who's tag-line is, "Chocolate in all it's forms." Everything for sale is homemade, and purchasable items include : chocolate fondue, hot chocolate, cookies, crêpes, and other chocolate-inspired desserts. White, dark and milk chocolate are available in any of the above forms. Downstairs is a cute little homey room with a big comfy red couch. It was a relaxing and delightful experience. The bathroom was the funniest part of all...It was the tiniest door you ever did see...as even I had to duck to get inside, and then you had to crouch down the whole time to move around in there. I felt like I went back in time for a few minutes and was exploring the facilities of a grand old chateau. In french, the bathroom is sometimes called "le petit coin," which literally means "the little corner," and this was indeed a little corner. Well-named.

Ok well that's all for now folks!
