International ubiquity might make La Maison du Chocolat easy to overlook on a visit to Paris, but this shop, with its heavenly ganaches, remains a standard bearer.

Reviews of interest
Time Out (2012) “Robert Linxe opened his first Paris shop in 1977, and has been inventing new chocolates ever since, using Asian spices, fresh fruits and herbal infusions. The apricot-infused truffles, salted caramel macarons and hazelnut pralines are all worth courting a cavity for.”
Figaroscope (2010) “Une institution qui mérite toujours sa réputation.”
David Lebovitz (2007) “…one of the most successful stories in chocolate history….I don’t stop in as often as I should. From now on, that’s going to change.”
