What a magical shop, we visited at Easter and the window dressing was the most beautiful chocolatey thing I've ever seen, chocolate boxes opening and closing, chocolate chickens flapping their wings! What more can i say?! More

My wife and I went to the Rue Cler location of this incredible chocolatier. Talk about kids in a candy shop -- everything looked so good. Luckily they allow you to buy candy by the piece, so we created our own assortments. My wife is a retired pastry chef and she said that these were some of the best chocolates... More

Even if you don't buy anything (it is rather expensive) then it is worth a trip to view this quaint old shop. The frontage is very attractive and the displays inside are enticing . More

This little shop is "packed" with sweet treats and scrumptious chocolate selections. Very engaging and helpful staff. You can select your own favorites or purchase a number of prepackaged gift sets from very small to over the top. The Chocolate is elegant and qualifies as one of those items to definately bring back home to your envious friends. Founded in... More

Incredible chocolate! High prices, but as soon as you have a taste, you will know why. I bought a piece of dark chocolate with hazelnuts, delicious. I regret not having bought more! More

Delicious home made sweets, marmalades, marshmallows and cakes!! This clasic old style shop is full of charm and character. It's à great place to buy original souvenir from Paris. Don't forget to try the lemon cake! Not too sweet, not to heavy, just perfect! More

A wonderful shop that gives you back that "kid in a sweet shop" feeling. A feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. They sell cakes, sweets and the most amazing chocolates. Staff were very helpful especially as we know only the minimum of French. You can buy ready made up boxes of chocolates or choose your own and... More
