We have our fair share of French flair in the South. Maybe you’ve visited the 25-foot Eiffel Tower in Paris, Arkansas, or the 60-foot steel Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tennessee. Perhaps you’ve pulled on your cowboy boots to observe the saying “Everything’s bigger in Texas” in action with the 65-foot Eiffel Tower in Paris, Texas, specifically designed to surpass the structure in Tennessee. (It’s also adorned with a cowboy hat.) But none of these can quite compare to the real thing: Paris, France.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based doughnut chain Krispy Kreme wants to bring a taste of the City Of Love to the South in honor of the upcoming 2024 Olympics. The new “Passport To Paris” doughnut collection takes inspiration from iconic French desserts we know and love—and these brand-new flavors have our mouths watering.

“Most people can’t be in Paris to cheer on their country’s team,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme. “So, we’re giving [fans] a ‘Passport to Paris’ in the form of delicious doughnuts with Parisian dessert flavors.”

Whether you’re cheering on Nashville native Gretchen Walsh or plan to spend every waking moment mesmerized by Texan Simone Biles, these sweet treats are a great way to get a taste of France without a plane ticket and make for a perfect watch party snack.
