    One of my favorite chocolate shops in Paris. Run by a very famous chef, the chocolate certainly does not disappoint. Whenever I visit Paris, this is my go to shop for bringing treats home for friends & colleagues. 1) The drinking chocolate is great. 2) My absolute favorite thing here is the pistachio filled chocolate tablet. 3) Other flavors of the filled tablets are great, from hazelnut to passion fruit. 4) The coated almonds are mouthwatering. 5) The small candy bars (almost like a toblerone) are also excellent. When you do find your favorite, get excited. While expensive to ship, you can order all your favorites online.

    First thing you see when you walk in...this homage to chocolate.

    If you have Euros to burn, this is the place to do it. La Manufacture had been open just one month when we journeyed to the up and coming Bastille neighborhood to find this opulent den of chocolate. The minute I opened the doors to the shop, I was flooded with the essence of chocolate. I didn't want to leave. Ever. I just wanted to keep circling the small, austere shop, sampling the generous tastes among the bags, bars and boxes of chocolate. Dark chocolate covered citron, pistachio praline, almond dragee, I tried them all. I tried to school my face into a poker face but my moans ecstasy betrayed me. The shopkeeper was very friendly and seemed extremely proud to show the wares and give us more tastes from the glass case. Never been a fan of "fruity" chocolate anything but the shopkeeper insisted that I try the raspberry infused chocolate. I'm a convert. Through the windows of the shop, you can peer into the actual factory. When I was there, nothing seemed to be happening. Alas, no tours due to contamination concerns (remember that scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where Augustus Gloop falls into the chocolate river after gulping fistfuls of the stuff?) Yeah, that would totally happen here. Sheer gluttony and the want of more! more! more! chocolate is tempered by cost. I believe there's a credit card slogan that asks, "what's in your wallet?" The smallest "discovery" box is 25 Euros. A chocolate bar is 7 Euros. Think about the gifts for mom and dad, aunt, your office, your bff, uh, you and ....it's an eye-popping fortune. Definitely keep this trip to yourself or there will be hell to pay if you come home empty handed.

    We are huge fans of Alain Ducasse, having dined at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester Hotel in London and Alain Ducasse at The Plaza Athenee in Paris so when we stumbled upon his chocolate store, we had to stop by. The store is beautifully setup and in Alain Ducasse fashion, presentation and detail were top notch. We ended up buying a bag of chocolate cocoa ($18 euros) for hot chocolate as a present for my mother in law. Again, in Alain Ducasse fashion, the prices are not cheap but the quality is always there.

    What could be better than selecting a box full of chocolate ganache or pralines in a Parisian…read morechocolate shop? La Maison du Chocolat has several locations in the city. This spot at the Carrousel du Louvre is a full service shop that gives out samples and allows you to build a box rather than just grab a premade assortment from a kiosk. I say this because we walked all over on our last day (wanting to make our own boxes) so we found out where the full-service shops were. The people who work here are very patient and kind while you make your selections. And of course, it's fun to sample the decadent merchandise. I highly recommend the Maracuja (dark chocolate w/ passionfruit pulp ) or the Salvador (dark chocolate ganache w/raspberry pulp). We made the mistake of turning our kids into chocaholics so we had to pay the price and bring them both home a box. Couldn't forget one for ourselves either. Each box comes with a handy picture guide so you can identify the merchandise. Or just pop one in your mouth and be happily surprised.

    The BEST!!!!!! Oh…read moreman! I will start by saying that I don't even like macaroons in the United States. They are just dry and nasty most of the time lol But in Paris, I decided to give them a try! And I am glad I did. They tasted so good! Seriously, they were delightful little treats. The inside of the macaroons was moist and flavorful, while the outside had a nice firm texture. So good! I almost ate an entire dozen of those by myself! lol My fiancé was not super motivated to try one (probably because they suck in the US), and I kept telling him how good they are. Finally, he tried one and was shocked at how good it was too! They are not cheap. But worth it for a decent macaroon. I can't eat macaroons in the states now lol Ruined me for life. lol

    tl;dr you ought not miss the signature chocolate mousse bar; this was one of the few eats in Paris…read morethat I made sure to have twice Chocolate mousse can be found at bistros across Paris, but few spots are as highly recommended as Chapon. This chocolate boutique was founded in the 80s by Patrice Chapon, once an ice cream purveyor for Buckingham Palace. Since then, he introduced his now-famed bar a mousse concept, allowing chocolate enthusiasts to sample made-in-house varieties of mousse sourced from cocoa beans across the world. I first visited a Chapon outpost on a quiet side street of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. You might miss the narrow storefront and brown awning on first glance, but melon-sized bowls of mousse in the window are unmistakable. The interior is warmly lit, featuring tastefully worn wood motifs. The backlit shelves to the right are curated with prepackaged confections, while the display to the left is decked with à la carte chocolates. We arrived for an early afternoon treat, and the friendly service patiently talked us through and offered samples of multiple mousse varieties. My favorite was the Equadorian, a dark, full-bodied flavor with some floral notes. I also enjoyed my sister's Madagascar, which had a thickness and richness reminiscent of caramel. My mother opted for the lighter, fluffier Peruvian, which was nearly the consistency of meringue. Lastly, the 100% dark Venezuelan had the thickest texture; however, the red wine-y flavor might turn some off. While the mousse is delicious, the prices might be harder to swallow; our 3 small portions ran over 20 euros. Nonetheless, I was impressed by the staff's ability to suggest an ideal mousse to suit each of our preferences. For a unique experience and a mousse that is sure to impress, don't miss out on Chapon.

    Pierre Hermé If you…read moreknow Pierre Hermé from social media and all the viral videos, then this review needs no introduction. But if you haven't, this is a strong contender for worthy macarons in Paris and at a convenient location across the street from Ladurée. Located inside L'Occitane in the most gorgeous floor space ever, you will find Pierre Hermé at the center of it all. They have an impressive array of flavors that were much more unique than other patisseries. I definitely asked for a few recommendations as well since I tend to order the same thing (pistachio, raspberry, lemon, etc.) The workers were very kind. They indulged my request to converse in French and corrected me in a respectful and endearing way (I know some people get upset at this idea but I personally prefer it.) I had ordered a dozen macarons but truthfully would've ordered the entire lot if I wasn't alone and especially if I wasn't already taking a ton of sweets back for my flight home. I am a Ladurée purist and what I can say is that Pierre Hermé definitely had the best and most unique flavors compared to the two. The prices are fairly comparable and the coffrets are just as tasteful. Both are strong contenders and worthy of your money. I certainly will be returning and look forward to trying the rest of their selection. (15/50--2025)

    Okay okay...I know Pierre Hermé is a super touristy macaron shop, and the Pierre Hermé on Champs…read moreElysée is probably the MOST touristy you can get, but I can't help but give this place five stars. Pierre Hermé is home to some of the best macarons I've had in my life -- which is probably too many for the good of my health -- and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the macarons, the staff's attention to detail, and all the unique flavors this shop had to offer. As a popular macaron shop in one of the hottest tourist destinations in Paris, this location is undeniably crowded. There's usually a huge line circling around a central display of macaron after macaron. The line looks pretty intimidating, but it moves quite quickly, and there are so many flavors that it'll probably be helpful to have a bit of extra time to review the menu. My friend and I split a pack of four macarons, including their seasonal isapahan (rose, lychee, raspberry), infiniment praliné pistache, and a jardin de cassandre (red currant, rhubarb). The macarons were delightful. I loved the two seasonal items; they were delightfully fruity and slightly floral, and I loved the slightly tangy flavor from the raspberry in the isapahan and rhubarb / currants in the jardin de cassandre. The praliné pistache was nice and nutty, and the inner cream offered a great additional richness. It's usually super crowded so seating tends to be quite limited. My friend and I ended up taking our macarons to go and enjoyed them elsewhere as we toured Champs Elysée.
