Five Visually Delightful Items Lined Up
Éclair Week, which began at Fauchon's Paris flagship store, is a festival of éclairs where approximately 80 varieties of the globally popular pastry are gathered. It's an event enlivened by éclairs that embody creativity and high technical skill, drawing many visitors. Held annually in September since 2008, this year's event in Paris is scheduled from Friday, September 12th to Saturday, September 20th.
Japan's first Éclair Week starts on the same day as Paris. The café, open for a limited time, will feature popular items that are also presented at the Éclair Week in Paris. These include "Éclair La Vague," printed with Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," the long-selling "Éclair au Chocolat," and "Original Éclair Orange," a revival of a design released in Paris in 2003.
Additionally, two new items exclusive to Japan will be available: "Éclair Framboise Champagne," a combination of champagne and raspberry, and "Éclair Fashion," in the brand's iconic cute pink color. A menu offering a set of éclairs and aromatic tea will also be introduced.
Embrace the artistic autumn by indulging in these creative éclairs at the "Fauchon Éclair Week Café."
