Here I am at the Café Angelina, a favorite haunt of my youth. My sister and I had a nostalgic chocolate as we reminisced about being young in the most beautiful city in the world. Angelina is a well known “salon de the” or tea room, though they specialize in irresistible hot chocolates. With it’s old-fashioned marble tables, large 19th century oil paintings and oversize mirrors, Café Angelina acted as a time machine, taking Chantal and I back to the Paris of the 60s and 70s. They also serve the best macaroons, though we both abstained, something we would never have done in our rose-tinted teens.
