Yesterday, as I walked a different route home through the Marais, I came across a store named "Les Ruchers du Roy" which specializes in honey. They have lots of different varieties ranging from light amber to rich dark golden brown. Of course the intensity increases as the color darkens. I bought a small jar of the darkest variety, "Chataignier Meil" which is from chestnut trees.
The chestnut tree honey has a rich, sweet caramel flavor with a slight maple taste. It's very good.
Depending on size and variety a 250g jar can cost about €6. This is the perfect place to pick up a unique gift or a personal treat. Most of the honey sold here comes from France but they do sell a few which are from Spain.
