Chocolate gift box
If working with chocolate from A to Z, as À la Mère de Famille does, is an art, choosing a gift for your loved ones, your colleagues... or for yourself is just as demanding! The oldest chocolate shop in Paris, we have been working with the same passion since 1761 to offer you the best chocolate , so that you can in turn offer those who matter a chocolate gift that will melt their hearts.

Handmade and original chocolate gift
To achieve this rich, flavorful (and delicious!) result, we hand-select our cocoa beans from Peru, Madagascar, Haiti, Ecuador, and elsewhere. They are then processed in our factory in Tours by our chocolatiers, who create our inimitable homemade couverture using skills that have been passed down year after year. A chocolate gift from À la Mère de Famille will therefore have a taste that is as unique as it is delicious.
Birthday, Christmas, dinner at friends' house, Mother's Day and Father's Day, business gifts, family meals, last-minute gifts: With our pretty boxes of chocolates, you are always sure to please!
Yum, a wide selection where you can find a chocolate gift for your friends

Our collection offers a wide range of creations, in a variety of assortments and price points, allowing you to offer a chocolate gift that suits your tastes and budget.
Chocolate lollipops

Choosing not to choose by offering a chocolate box
Between our to-die-for pralines ( finally, in our opinion ), made using a traditional cold-milling method to obtain a high-quality praline, our melting ganaches, our mendiants with hazelnut and dried fruit pieces, our chocolate bars, our signature dark and milk chocolate tablets, our toucans with cocoa powder... we grant you, the choice is difficult among all these chocolate candies!
Our beautiful chocolate gift boxes Mixing ganache, pralines, dark or milk chocolate solves this dilemma. You can also opt for a beautiful (and hard-wearing!) metal box in the House's colors, an elegant showcase for our irresistible mendiants, florentines, crisps and snacks. The prices of each chocolate box vary depending on their size and the number of treats to choose from.

For the holidays, offer an Advent calendar or one of our winter specialties
With Christmas approaching, why not offer a chocolate gift that doubles as a decorative object with our iconic Advent calendar? Each year, an artist takes it and reinterprets it, drawing inspiration from our historic boutique at 35 rue du Faubourg Montmartre. The Maison has had the immense pleasure of collaborating with Sempé, Catherine Meurisse, Chris Ware, and Pénélope Bagieu to create Advent calendars full of sweets and fantasy, which accompany gourmets until Christmas with a smile.
Apart from the Advent calendar, What are the best chocolates to give at this time of year? If you love delicate chocolate truffles, refined candied chestnuts, or dark or milk chocolate papillotes, made by us right down to the jokes hidden in their glossy paper, we suggest you take the opportunity to order one of our seasonal treats. Their rare availability makes them gift ideas as precious as they are delicious, showing your loved ones that you take their sweet tooth seriously.
Birthdays, holidays... does it have to be a special occasion to give a chocolate gift?
You might think that chocolates are reserved for Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, and Easter, to add an irresistible touch of indulgence. But at À la Mère de Famille, we firmly believe they make the perfect gift for any occasion! Why are chocolates such a popular gift, especially when they've been crafted by a great chocolatier? With their elegant aromas, crispy pieces or soft centers, crunchy coatings or melting ganache centers, chocolates symbolize indulgence, elegance, and refinement. By choosing a box of chocolates, you're offering the lucky recipient a special moment of tasting.
What are the alternatives to chocolate gifts?
Do you want to offer a sweet gift, but an assortment of chocolates doesn't seem like the best choice? That's good, because À la Mère de Famille also offers a wide range of artisanal confectionery. Let yourself be seduced by the tangy aromas of our orange peels and our fruit jellies made from fruit purees without added flavors or colorings, or get caught with your hand in the bag of our caramels in assorted flavors (vanilla, raspberry, pistachio, passion fruit, etc.).
