Dehillerin store is the best!

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Yes!!! A gem it is.

[@janerobinson5944]

Thanks for the video. I had read about this shop and one day while visiting Paris I happened upon the store! Wow what a surprise and a wonderful treasure hunt for chefs and cooks! You never know what you will find when you walk Paris❤

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

So true!!

[@morganludlow9698]

I loved walking with you through the cooking shop E. Dehillerin. I will have to check it out on my next trip to Paris. I love Julia Child! She changed the way Americans think about food and encouraged us to try new things. I think the greater message you have of not being afraid to try and live your dream, or to make a significant change in your life is so inspiring.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Thank you for your lovely comment!!!

[@terrym9435]

Hi Sherri, I also love Les Frenchies channel. Your video was great!!

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Aren't they the best!! Good honest information...and some of the best food videos out there.

[@ellephilippe7685]

Hello Sharri! watching you is spectacular specially today home working on my next chapter in my life. You are taking me staright home to my city of love and a majeur part of my heart. Please don't mind of your pronunciations of French I understand you perfectly.

[@ginatees3262]

Thank you for this journey down memory lane.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Videos are fun, even if badly done...as those visuals help us to step back into prior experiences. Thank you for joining me!!

[@sharonm8634]

Sharri, don't beat yourself up about pronunciation, it's okay! Yes there is NOTHING like Dehillerin in Paris, but I've visited many huge restaurant supply stores in the US. They just don't have the same ambiance, of course! Some of your fans may also remember that Anthony Bourdain mentioned Dehillerin and Les Halles in his books and shows. Lovely tour, thanks! Would love to hear a bit more about your experience with Patricia Wells --I don't know if she still offers classes now but I was once tempted to go.💗

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

I still miss Anthony Bourdain's shows. He was a gem. Yes, Patricia does a few classes a year, but possibly only to prior class members, I'm not sure. Her classes were great. More conversational that heavy cooking techniques, as many of my classmates were serious cooks. In comparison, I was an amateur. The dinner/lunch conversations were wonderful given Patricia and Walter's work experiences and connections. She shared a lot about Julia Child. Lovely memories. Thanks for joining me!

[@sharonm8634]

[@floridastitcher1]

Thank you for explaining how the arrondissements are set up like a snail. Now, I can finally understand how they work. This is the first time I have watched your video and I enjoyed it very much. I look forward to going back through them and hearing your story -Pam

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Thanks for joining me Pam! Yes, you'll hear the snail reference all the time, and it then makes sense because the city is not set up in a grid- it's curves and circles!

[@estandersen3732]

Another fun adventure. I’m adding this to my Paris list.

Happy to hear you liked it!! Next trip to Paris for sure!!

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

They do...and the metro entrances are usually incredibly beautiful.

[@janeparrett8601]

I just found you! You inspired me to think more about what I want. Not just dream it but take positive action to first define it and then to create it. Yhank you.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

That question should be interesting to ask ourselves and yet, it makes us pause...what do I really want? Connect to your feelings not a to-do list and it'll help you to find the answer. Thank you for joining me!

[@pineconesacorns3118]

Love seeing Paris through your eyes. I have been visiting Paris since I was 16 and am now 57. There have been a lot of changes and of course a lot that is the same. My first visit was before the I.M. Pei pyramid and it has changed so much for the better. Dehillerin is amazing for cooks, bakers and all visitors to Paris.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

YOU could do the tour next time!!! So happy you have joined me here. A new platform!

[@susancasper3075]

Your videos are memorable. My French mother and her friends introduced me to Paris and I really enjoy ‘re-exploring’ it in a similar way with you.

[@shellyweber8575]

My husband and I did a very similar route last May (2023). It's some of my most cherished memories - just walking around Paris and somewhat stumbling upon these things. We did have things marked on a Google map we had created so we had mapped what we wanted to see and then went to the area and just found the sites we wanted to see. It was the same kind of weather, same time of day and seeing your video just warmed my heart and brought back memories.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

I love reading your share...it sounds like you have a wonderful trip. Sometimes it's only on vacations that we let ourselves wander...we should do it more often and in our own home towns! ❤

This video was amazing I truly enjoyed it. Thank you❤

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Thank you for your lovely comment...more to come!

[@dararowland8749]

Love the journey with you, thank you. Dehillerin is wonderful, what I would call a restaurant supply store. We have a couple of nice big ones in Toronto and I have been in some in NYC, so surely in any city of any good size would have them. By the way, I so love Boston, part of my family ancestry, so love your excursions around that city too.

Oh Betty (my mom’s name ❤)…I hope you can take a little break from the good work you’re doing and plan a little road trip now. You deserve it. Take care of you too. ☺️

I haven't read the other comments and this is the first time I have watched your vlogs but Ina Garten also loves this shop and has had multiple careers. She is also been a great inspiration!

Cathy, you are so right and I should have mentioned Ina. I'm a HUGE fan of her!! She is an inspiration for all of us!!

[@elainerobertson7329]

I think you did fine with the French. Develop your confidence level. Thats all. I totally enjoyed the video. The ladt shop was lovely. Now, I want the copper pots and skillets.

[@lisamacdonald9375]

Hi Sharri ! I really appreciate your videos, I just discovered them. I am starting my new chapter having just retired from a long time career. Ready for new adventures and inspiration. I’m looking forward to reading your book! Keep these videos coming, you’ve got me hooked! 😊

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

[@dianegriffith3006]

Just discovered your channel -will pop in later for more Paris updates-the cooking shop looked like maybe it’s more open for the trade. Maybe? But I’m hoping to follow you as well make it to France again. I’ve only been there once. I also watch Chateau Diaries. 😀

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Chateau Diaries is one of my favorites too...Stephanie and team are lovely and fun. As for dehillerin, you just need to know what you are looking for...or want to purchase a keepsake you will use...and it's a perfect stop off for home cooks. Thanks for joining me!

Thanks so much for taking us along on your tour today, you have such a lovely personality (you remind me of my Minnesota relatives). Take us along on a boutique shopping trip one day -- it would be such fun. (Love your apartment; which, I believe, is a French word so don't think you cannot pronounce French words correctly!) Nice to see a little rain; its been so hot and dry here in W Washington.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

It rained every day for months!! Too much of anything is just too much, right? And you are correct! Appartement is a french word! Thanks for joining me.

[@rosalinddruceevanson3334]

Good morning Sharri! Wonderful video. I am very familiar with the route that you took to get to Dehilleron, and it’s lovely to see Paris in the rain☔️The store is going to be a top destination for me when we return in October. It does have a “restaurant supply” feel to it in the cellar area, and the only other similar, but definitely not as historic or famous, stores that I can compare it to are the ones on NYC’s lower east side. Always a bit scary looking though😊Greetings from Chicago✨

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Hello and welcome!! Yes, put the shop on your list for your next visit. Also, if you fall in love with one of their big copper pots, they do deliver! (Pricey was a forever keepsake.)

[@BonjourElsa]

FYI - Tony Bourdain bought his duck press from Dehillerin.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Oh my...so fun to hear....still missing Anthony. Thanks for sharing that information!

[@yaowsers77]

i love les frenchies! i've been following them for a couple of years now and they even have a facebook travel tips group! also, antoine's family members give tours! i've seen places similar to this here in the states. they are restaurant supply shops that are open to the public. but a lot of them have gone online. there are some places in nyc at least for baking. it was open years ago. not sure if it still is. you'd have to do some research. haha i'm going to get into so much trouble in that store when i visit paris! shipping. that's the way to go.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Great info on Antoine's family member tours!! Les Frenchies are lovely and provide loads of really good information...I need to invite them for lunch one of these days. Yes, you might get in trouble in Dehillerin but you'll have wonderful forever memories!!

I’ve shopped at dehillerin many years ago!

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Such a treasure...thanks for joining me!

[@jolies5329]

Hello! Thanks for the tour of Dehillerin. More restaurant supply stores in the immediate area are A Simon around the corner and across the street, who sell mostly tableware at wholesale prices, and Mora, good for baking supplies. There are others within a few hundred metres that are good for poking around. To answer your question, IMO many big cities have restaurant supply stores (NYC, Montreal) but perhaps none as complete/varied as those in Paris.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Great suggestions....more cooks shopping to come!!

[@sharonm8634]

💗Hi there, great video and Thanks so much! As you may know by now, the civet is a small cat-like animal. I believe I read that they can produce a musk-like oil used in perfumes. Though that shop did not appear to be une perfumerie ---but anyway....I LOVE traveling along with you! P.S. I don't have Netflix so I had no idea Emily in Paris is a series. Sounds good!💗

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Great information!! It must have been a perfumery of sorts at one time. Emily in Paris is fun but not all that realistic...but if you love Paris, you'll enjoy the series.

The video was two - thirds over when we reached the destination, after a tedious meander through the district and we were treated to no more than a few minutes of the contents and 'ambiance' of the place before the sales pitch from the author. How interesting.

Have you ever heard of the civet coffee? The civet cats eat the best and ripest coffee beans. Then nature takes its course. Someone collects the civet poo, washes the coffee beans and roasts them, and they’re sold for a huge amount! Apparently it’s very good coffee because the civets only eat the best beans. True.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

[@suannemaloney2280]

Although I enjoyed following along on your 18 minute long video walk on the way to Dehillerin, I was very disappointed that you only spent FOUR minutes actually showing us a very tiny portion of the store itself! It would have been better to remain on the main floor of the store, as that is where the kitchen items that most of us would want to look at and perhaps buy are located. I’ve only been in this store once but spent almost two hours looking around…just fascinated by so many choices.

[@extraordinarywomennextchapter]

Great feedback. Thank you for joining me!

[@AugustDeb]

Pronunciation... 🙄🙄🙄 Do people really want references to the horrible Emily in Paris when you are there experiencing the real thing? I can't imagine anyone here is that superficial.
