Unique know-how brought together by a love of beauty and goodness
Behind the elegant facade, cabinetmakers, carpenters, gilders and ironworkers have combined their talents to create a unique place, a warm setting for the Maison's gourmet creations.
We select our own cocoa beans from producers chosen for their values and high standards, in order to create chocolates of impeccable quality. Our chocolatiers then create a unique blend of terroirs and flavors, and craft each of our recipes with precision and passion. From melting praline to chocolate crisps, salted butter caramels, and melting fruit jellies, each sweet treat reveals the richness of France's gourmet heritage.
Chocolate in all its forms
Our wide selection of chocolate creations delights all gourmets. For Easter, discover our chocolate eggs filled with melting pralines, perfect for celebrating this family holiday or giving as a gift. During the holiday season, we also offer seasonal creations, such as our iconic melting chocolate truffles.
