What are some typical Parisian sweets?

In Paris, one sweet that is everywhere that is not found often in the United States are macarons.  Macarons are made from egg whites, sugar, ground almond, and food coloring.  While I didn't care too much for macarons, and only had a bite of one while in Paris, they are a must-try while in Paris, and people love them! There are interesting flavors such as pistachio and rose.
 The dessert that I ate a ton of, however, was fruit tarts.  I saw them everywhere! Here are some at Le Bon Marche.

Here are some cute chocolates in the shapes of shoes and other objects at a chocolate store in Paris.  Of course, there are always crepe stands everywhere throughout Paris to satisfy your sweet tooth.  Overall, I was impressed with the variety and taste of the sweets in Paris!
