Rouen 2011

The chocolatier Auzou in Rouen operates this shop which is famous for "The Tears of Joan of Arc".  It is said that Joan of Arc cried at the stake of despair that she could not accomplish her mission.  These chocolates are somehow a metaphor for those tears.  They are made of roasted almonds, dipped in caramel, covered in dark chocolate and then rolled in cocoa.  They are totally addictive - I dare you to try and eat just one! (Note that Pam is leaving with a bag-full!)
