La Glace!

Yesterday, after class, I went downtown with some friends from EAP, and, after saving a few euros by crashing finding a free barbecue at Université de Bordeaux 2 (where none of us have classes...), we decided to get ice cream. Almost all the ice cream here is labeled "Glace Artisanale" and is in rectangular boxes like gelato, so I'm a little unclear as to whether it's actually gelato or just very European ice cream. But it was hot out, so that mystery was not our first priority.

We went to one of these Glace Artisanale places, and they made the most beautiful ice cream cones ever!!! I ordered a small "cornetto" (Italian! Could it be gelato?!) with coffee and caramel ice cream. What they do is put one flavor in the center and then use a flat scoop to put little petals of the other flavor around it. It looks so cool! And it was delicious! It was a little on the pricier side, but how often does your ice cream look like this??
