Modern Day Paris: If a tourist were to approach and ask, “Do you know where I can get some ice cream?” the universal appropriate response would be obvious. Berthillon. Is there any other ice cream?

Lines around the block are common. Everyone has a favorite flavor. There are about sixty to choose from. Whether served in cone or cup, Parisians are not ashamed to admit that the stain in the middle of their shirt is vintage Berthillon.

All natural ingredients. No chemicals, preservatives, artificial sweeteners. Milk, sugar, cream and eggs flavored with fresh fruits and spices, vanilla and cocoa, are what you get.

There are several cafes around the city with Berthillon ice cream on the menu, but the one and only Berthillon shop reigns supreme on the Ile Saint-Louis.
