Since 1760, the Chocolaterie Royale has not lost its name. And to say that we no longer know where to put our heads in front of all its chocolate temptations is not excessive.

As for the ganaches, recommended by the chocolate creator Daniel Mercier, whether they are made with dark, milk or white chocolate, they are melt-in-the-mouth... imperishable. A place where you can be damned. Not to be avoided.
