Building on his acclaimed bistros and patisseries, celebrated French chef Cyril Lignac teams up with master pastry chef Benoît Couvrand to unveil a dedicated chocolaterie on Tuesday, March 22. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., this inviting shop lets visitors purchase or savor chocolate in every form: tablets, bars, hot chocolate, spreads, pastries, and delightful surprises. As reported by Le Figaro, choose from fifteen artisanal tablets crafted in a Saint-Ouen laboratory. The "Origins" bars (€6 to €6.50) feature dark Grand Cru Ecuador (62%) or Grand Cru Creation milk (35.5%); "Inclusions" (€8) offer black grand cru with sesame and green tea or grand cru milk with nougatine and almonds; and sweets (€10), pre-cut like Lindt Chocoletti (18 pieces each), include grand cru milk caramel and marshmallow or dark grand cru mint.
Explore five chocolate bars (€5) reimagining classics like Mars, Snickers, or Bounty with flavors such as milk biscuit caramel or coconut/raspberry. Pastries max out at €6, including chocolate tart, éclair, Caribbean, hazelnut entremets, muffin, brownie, tonka brioche, chocolate-orange roll, chocolate tiger, chocolate-caramel cookie, or macaroons.
