After years of tasting, interviewing, and writing, I’m THRILLED to introduce you to The Craft Chocolate-Lover’s Guide to Paris.
I wrote it specifically for bean-to-bar enthusiasts who want to experience Paris through the lens of craft chocolate. It’s hosted on the Saltete platform, which interfaces with Google, which means you can:
- Explore suggested chocolate itineraries right on Google Maps
- Find the nearest featured shop by clicking “See what’s near me.”
You’ll find:
- 118 hand-picked addresses, including a comprehensive list of bean-to-bar makers in Paris and the surrounding areas. Also, my absolute favorite Parisian specialty coffee shop!
- Detailed introductions for each chocolate company, including the name of the couverture suppliers for chocolatiers
- Recommended products at each spot (chocolate sorbet, anyone?)
- Four different itineraries
- An FAQ with recommendations on the best times to travel and tips on navigating public transportation
It’s a personal guide to my favorite spots in the city. If you haven’t been to Paris yet, my tips will save hours of research. This means one thing: more time exploring the modern Parisian chocolate scene!
The guide has already been out for a couple of months, and I’m thrilled by the response so far. Here are some testimonials from early readers.
Reader Testimonials and Accolades
“The guide has the amazing gift of being written like it’s your very own personal guide to what you want to explore of Paris chocolate, whether it’s your first or 15th visit. It’s really something special.”

“Hello Estelle, I used your Paris Chocolate Guide to plan my trip. I just got back home and wanted to say thank you again! I went to a few chocolate shops right away after check-in. I went to Dengo, Chapon, Jean-Paul Hevin, and oh my, that chocolate mousse from Chapon was amazing! They had a few flavors to choose from, even one for Christmas (I forgot the flavor), but I said no, I wanted to try the 100% Venezuelan chocolate recommended by you, that’s really amazing! Also, the hot chocolate from Dengo was the best. That was the first cup of hot chocolate I had in Paris, and it set the bar quite high, and that’s my favorite of the trip. I also chatted with the lovely lady at Dengo and shared with her how I found out about them through you. I also visited Jean-Paul Hevin, Rrraw, and PLAQ. They were all lovely. Thanks to you, I saved time on finding where to go for chocolate in Paris, and I have a very pleasant experience!”
