For a chocolatier, the ingredients are very disappointing. Using sunflower lecithin, really? The chocolate was good, but I was just expecting more.

I learned about this place over 10 years ago, when I was traveling and shooting pool still. I hoped to make it to this establishment and experience what I had been told of. Well, it exceeded the hype and expectations I had of it. The caramels...flavored and natural were heavenly...and the milk chocolates, as well as the Jelly squares were all out of this world. I had them.. and enjoyed them so much I went back a few days later and walked along the river sucking on a mouth watering perfect caramel.

I'm sure the chocolate is good here. I never actually got to try any because I was ignored for 15 minutes in an empty store waiting to buy a pre made variety box and never got a chance to purchase it. If you don't speak perfect French and don't already know what you want without asking any questions, I wouldn't bother coming here. The lady was super rude even by Paris standards.

Bugs in the candy!!! I was sooo disappointed because this was my favourite candy and chocolate shop. I had walked away after purchasing and noticed an insect on the bottom of one of my just purchased candies :(

If you are in Paris and if you are chocolate fans, then go no more. Try their dark chocolate ganache, sea salt toffee, their fruit candy… can tell no more. I fell in love. The salesperson was kind and patient. I would only recommend to hire more than one to help with moving up the queue. …

Despite the prices, buying here is casual and friendly. I tried sticking to speaking in French but the sales people definitely know English. The chocolates are to die for, and the hidden gems are the very few pastries on sale, for a price, that are nearly perfect in every way. I was able to try a tarte au caramel with walnuts, and the most amazing chou à la crème with a hard sugar glaze. Really amazing stuff and would try even more on a return one day.

The store looks like a jewelry store, caramel candy are amazing, and also the marmelads, it is very expensive but high quality

Absolutely amazing chocolates & caramels. Heard that they were good but blown away by how tasty they are! Also great service from this branch, already planning my next trip …
