Gérard Taurin, Ice cream parlour in the 17th arrondissement, Paris, France
Gérard Taurin is an ice cream parlour located on rue de Lévis in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. The shop is small, with glass cases displaying handmade ice creams, sorbets, frozen desserts, and small flavored sticks and pots.
Gérard Taurin trained at Lenôtre in Paris and was awarded the Meilleur Ouvrier de France title in 2000. After more than 40 years in the trade and the sale of his first business in 2022, he opened this Paris shop as a new venture.
The shop sits on rue de Lévis, a street known for its food market, making it easy to reach on foot from surrounding neighborhoods. Visiting early in the day or later in the afternoon helps avoid the longest waits on warm days.
Gérard Taurin holds the title of World Champion in ice cream making, a distinction that goes beyond the French Meilleur Ouvrier award he already carries. The milk used in the shop comes from organic farms in the Perche region, where cows graze on fresh grass, giving the ice cream a noticeably natural taste.
