It's not worth the money at all. I am sure there are other places in Paris that are a fraction of the price that are just as good or better. Going to the store when it's open is worth the cost, imo, unless youre on a really strict budget.
Actually, they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays and all of August. You know you have good ice cream when you can be closed all of AUGUST and stay in business. I would think for most places in the northen hemisphere August has to be the biggest month for ice cream sales.
