A friend once said, “Chocolate is better than a boyfriend: chocolate doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t demand anything, it just is.”
Pure and unadulterated, the essence of this delicious treat is joy… or so we think.
But in Paris, chocolate is never just chocolate.
It is history, seduction, craftsmanship, and a quiet obsession. From aristocratic salons to modern ateliers, chocolate has long been woven into the fabric of French culture — whispered about in cafés, gifted as declarations of love, and elevated to an art form by generations of master chocolatiers.
On Paris Chocolat, J’adore!, we peel back the glossy wrapper and dive into the rich, sometimes surprising story behind this beloved indulgence. As we stroll through the city, we’ll explore some of Paris’s oldest and most iconic chocolate maisons, where tradition is guarded as carefully as secret recipes. You’ll learn how chocolate arrived in Europe, why France made it sensual, and how Paris became one of the world’s great chocolate capitals.
Along the way, we’ll taste — because of course we will — and discover how flavor, texture, and technique evolved over centuries. From powdered luxury to the refined ganache and pralines of today, chocolate tells a story of power, pleasure, and pleasure disguised as refinement.
This tour is equal parts cultural history, guilty pleasure, and playful indulgence. Expect stories of scandal and sophistication, artistic packaging worthy of a fashion house, and the occasional philosophical question — like whether joy can truly be timeless, or if it melts the moment you bite into it.
Come curious. Leave enchanted.
And possibly carrying a very chic bag of chocolate. 🍫💋
