The oldest chocolate shop in Paris
Since 1761

Now

From the factory to our shops

Driven by the deep desire to bring the taste of good to life, to promote authentic recipes, and because we are also very greedy, we make a wide range of sweets and chocolate specialties. After transforming our different cocoas into chocolate coatings, making our own pralines and ganaches, the possibilities are immense! There are therefore more than a hundred homemade recipes (impossible to bring ourselves to remove any...) that we find in assortment in our boxes.
The latest products, whose recipes are based on a solid dose of know-how, creativity free of any intermediary and our intuition, thus join their gourmet accomplices to form an extraordinary range of products. Among them, the famous praline rocks, the squirrel follies or the Florentines and their cousins from the Dolfin region, as well as the essential Montmartre palets, toucans, orangettes, papillotes…

Our addresses

Old tiles, weathered wooden counters and window, metal chandeliers and pendants, lined up candy boxes, between elegance and carefree, everything here recalls the Belle Époque, since which the historic boutique À la Mère de Famille has not changed much. A Parisian treasure, the address is also a piece of French heritage, since the place has been listed as a historical monument since 1984.
