The best confectioners Paris

In a recomposed 1950s mini classroom, George, the famous figure of the place, will take you on a journey: a journey back in time since his candies have an incredibly fine, evocative childhood flavor. Here, there is no room for chemical candies but ancient method, authentic product. But here, we also travel through the French provinces, because what we offer you here is a fairly faithful panorama of the best French creations: Charrex chestnut cream, Bourges chestnuts, candied fruits from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence: nothing is missing! There is always something going on here, and the welcome is not an empty word, don't hesitate.

It was here in 1761 that this gourmet saga began, with Pierre-Jean Bernard opening a store. His companion Marie-Adelaïde made it prosper and gentrified what was then a grocery store, which in 1810 was named "A la mère de famille", in reference to the mother of the family. The fashionable grocery specialized in confectionery from 1856. In 1984, the storefront was listed as an historic monument. Taken over in 2000 by the Dolfi family, who continue the tradition, the chocolates, ice creams and confectionery of this illustrious house continue to delight connoisseurs.

It was in the village of... Puyricard, in Provence, that a Belgian couple opened the eponymous chocolate factory. Since then, the company has flourished in the South and beyond, with three stores in Paris, including this one, located behind the Lutétia hotel. As proof of its undeniable know-how, in 2010 it was the first food company to obtain the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label. Handmade chocolate, calissons d'Aix rich in almonds - the other specialty of the company - lemon or orange peel, marrons glacés, caramels... You will find it hard to resist.

Founder of the Damyel brand, Richard Uzan, who has now left us, had a twofold objective: to offer excellent products that are also kosher. Target met! Damyel is synonymous with quality and, thanks to this sign, the practising Jewish community now has access to the best in the chocolate and confectionery sectors. The history of the house began in Sarcelles (95) in 1988. In addition to the historic Val-d'Oise boutique, the brand operates five points of sale in Paris. On their displays, mouthful chocolate and bars, chocolate specialities (mendiants, orangettes...), macaroons, sugared almonds... A very tempting offer.

Ms. Roy opened this elegant chocolate shop in 1948. If the house has changed hands since then, it has kept the name Roy, a guarantee of quality. Assortments, bars, truffles, beggars, orangettes, lollipops… The chocolate is available here in different shapes. Among the house's specialties are small squares (with matcha green tea or salt flower, for example) and Têtes brûlées Roy (a dark chocolate shell coated with granulated sugar and filled with a liquid butter caramel). Other delicacies, such as calissons, fruit pastes, honey or jams (from Papas Confituriers de l'Île de Ré) complete the offer.
