DEBAUVE ET GALLAIS
Read moreClassified as a historical monument, the shop was established in 1800 by Debauve and Gallais who before being chocolate makers, were pharmacists to Queen Marie Antoinette at Versailles. Much later, Paule Cuvelier took over this noble house and it is this same one that has made him feel brand new. This chocolate factory is known for its excellent range of dark chocolate with low sugar content and no additives. You will find chocolate crisps baked in their pots with pure almond and pure hazelnut, ganache with beans of different origins, truffles with candied orange and specialties like Pistoles known as Santé with orange blossom and almond cream, prepared for Marie Antoinette. Historical! La Boîte 1800 is a gem for it offers an eclectic selection of chocolate candies, a superb muslin purse, a bag of weapons and a card embossed with fine gold which goes with each box. All these chocolates are remarkably presented in elegant boxes.
