About Us

A family chocolaterie since 1979, still tempering every batch by hand.

Our Story

A Family Chocolaterie Since 1979

It began with one marble slab in a Saint-Honore courtyard and a recipe for a dark truffle that is still on the counter today.

We roast beans from five growers we visit, conche them slowly and temper every batch by hand. Nothing leaves the atelier that we would not give to our own family.

What We Believe

Chocolate Made Slowly

Bean To Bar

Five origins roasted in the atelier, so every bar tastes of the place it grew.

Made By Hand

Tempered on marble, piped and capped by hand, in batches small enough to watch.

With The Seasons

Raspberries in June, chestnut in November: the counter follows the year.

The Atelier

Five Days For A Bonbon

From the roaster to the box, each bonbon passes through five pairs of hands. This is the week behind one piece.
