The best chocolate

It is no secret that Paris is home to some of the most talented chocolatiers in the world. Indeed, we owe the democratization of chocolate in France to Anne of Austria, who married Louis XIII in 1615 and spread this treasure throughout the Palace of Versailles. A few years later, in 1671, Louis XIV opened the first Parisian store selling "drinking chocolates."

And did you know that there is a chocolate museum in Paris? OUI! The museum focuses on chocolate's origin, evolution, and consumption through a collection of a thousand objects. It presents the historical aspect of chocolate, the development of manufacturing methods, and the ingredients used. Enjoy this sweet section on the best chocolatiers in Paris right now.
