It is the oldest chocolate supplier in Paris. Operating since 1761, A la mère de famille is still listed among the 10 best chocolatiers in town. On top of their fabulous production of bonbons and bouchées, you will find preserves, candied chestnusts, macaroons, candied fruit, calissons and much more. The original store has not changed much over the last 250 years and is located on Faubourg Montmatre, an enchanting conclusion to my Secret Passages tour. Worth a trip to step back in time! A cook book in English is available in any of their Paris stores but visiting the oldest one is an absolute must!
