Chocolate cafés

La Maison du Chocolate - one of the best chocolate salons in Paris, France

There are so many fabulous cafes devoted to chocolate in Paris - you'll have a chocoholic's delight! I've included some of my favourites and the better known ones on my Chocolate Cafes in Paris page.


Chocolate Factory

Chocolate Factory  |  Nestlé

After visiting a few handmade chocolate salons, you might like to visit the historic Menier chocolate factory (built 1860-1922), just outside of Paris in the Ile-de-France region. Now owned by Nestle, the former factory opens to the public for free visits on Heritage Day (Journée du patrimoine), 9am-5pm. The highlight is the colourful ceramics of the Moulin Saulnier, the largest of the eleven factory buildings.
