Lefèvre-Lemoine
Ahhh, they just don't make sweetshops like this 1840s treasure anymore. A bird chirps a welcome as you enter this world of sugar-coated nostalgia. One of the old-fashioned sweet tins made a cameo appearance in the film Amélie.

Maison des Sœurs Macarons
When Nancy's Benedictine nuns hit hard times during the French Revolution, they saw the light in heavenly macaroons. They're still made to the original recipe (egg whites, sugar, Provençal almonds) at this old-world confectioner. A dozen box (€7) makes a great gift.

Marché Couvert
If only every market were like Metz’ grand Marché Couvert. Once a bishop’s palace, now a temple to fresh local produce, this is the kind of place where you pop in for a baguette and struggle out an hour later with bags overflowing with charcuterie, ripe fruit and five different sorts of fromage.
