New option for great chocolat in Paris!

Le Chocolat de Alain Ducasse is the first bean to bar chocolate shop in Paris. Ducasse is partnering with pastry chef and chocolatier Nicolas Berger to bring the art of chocolate making to a new level. After six years searching for the perfect location in Paris with enough room for a gorgeous shop, plus adequate room for the massive roasting machines and climatically correct storage for large sacks of cacao beans. Voila, a site which was a factory located in a courtyard in the heart of the Bastille neighborhood is the place. The result, after Monsieur Berger perfecting his unique recipes, is a beautiful shop with chocolates as lovely to regard as to taste. And, of course, the packaging of those chocolate gems is exquisite too! Great for gifts, great for you.

And, a new location in the heart of St. Germain des Prés has recently opened for those on the left bank.
