chocolate tintin
We’ve been in search for a gift for one of my friends, a Tintin fan. Tintin is not really in style in France at the moment so related gifts are hard to find. We lost hope after looking nearly everywhere – until we went to this chocolatier/patisserie in Boulogne-sur-mer. Along with some yummy pastries, they make chocolate masks of different characters. We saw them in their window display while walking by. There was one of the seven dwarves, Shrek, and Becassine, who to me, looks exactly like Tintin with a hat from Brittany. Anyway, they did do a Tintin mask so we ordered it earlier this week and picked it up today.

I think it’s a fun gift for chocoholic Tintin fans. It would be cool if they did a Milou (Snowy the dog) in white chocolate.
