Maison Chaudun (chocolate store), Paris

Maison Chaudun is a chocolate house founded in the late 1980s, which still adheres to traditional processes and original molds, making it a must-visit for chocolate lovers and admirers of sweets. The artistry and attention to detail put into each item are breathtaking.

The pavés, small squares of soft ganache dusted with cocoa, and their awesome bon bons are a delight. Pavés are more delicate and short-lived by all accounts: a chocolate creation that is much more than a truffle. Michel Chaudun first produced them with cocoa nibs in 1993, and they have been delighting customers ever since. For a burst of tangy sunshine, try the candied fruits.

Visitors can also admire or purchase fabulous chocolate handbags and statues, which are not only great sculptures but also delicious. Although one may be tempted to buy a box of chocolates as a gift or for later, these heavenly treats are unlikely to make it home.

Maison Chaudun's chocolates, cakes, and pastries are sure to captivate not only your taste buds but also your heart.
