Fortunately, for the Village bohemian and members of the flâneur set such as myself, sweet concoctions in the French style are available with a quick stroll. Nothing quite saves the day as a good combination of water, unsalted butter, salt, flour, eggs, and fruit. A few of these places listed below are take-out only. The coffee and tarte aux prunes from Patisserie Claude that I ordered this afternoon certainly hit the spot, and I was able to find an empty chair in which to sit and look out the window at the rain.
