Chocolat haut de gamme
The oldest chocolate shop in Paris, À la Mère de Famille strives to preserve and, above all, to keep alive ancestral know-how in the manufacture of its chocolates and confectionery, to be discovered or offered according to your desires.
Since 1761
Le chocolatier À la Mère de Famille perpetuates a precious heritage of excellence… and indulgence! La Maison makes high-end French chocolates that combine tradition and creativity in our factory in Tours, before tenderly slipping them into ballotins, pretty boxes and gift sets to give as gifts or to treat yourself.
Mastery from bean to creation for exceptional quality
Because we like our chocolates to be as good as they are beautiful, and because creating a high-end chocolate requires a requirement that matches yours, À la Mère de Famille controls each step of the creation of our treats. The oldest chocolatier in Paris, we choose our cocoa beans ourselves from producers selected for their values and their requirement in different regions of the world . Our chocolatiers then compose our signature couverture, resulting from a custom blend of different origins, and work the mass and cocoa butter with unique know-how. We also design our own molds and figures, and we even take care of their shipping, all this in order to guarantee the quality and exceptional taste of our products from the first to the last step.
Taste our high-end chocolates at the Mother of the Family
With us, no jealousy! We pay the same attention to each chocolate, from intense dark to smooth milk to our creamy ivory white, without forgetting our inimitable homemade praline that melts the most demanding palates. À la Mère de Famille produces its own couverture in our factory in Tours , which gives a recognizable flavor to our recipes, just like our melting ganaches. In order to meet all your desires, we offer our chocolates in bar format, themed box, assortment, bag, ballotin… in a wide range of prices to meet all desires.
Our succulent praline chocolates (no exaggeration!)
Our praline chocolate recipe is one of the specialties that the House is proud of! Our chocolatiers make it from carefully selected dried fruits. French hazelnuts, almonds and Sicilian pistachios are roasted and caramelized , then cold-ground using an ancestral technique that ensures incomparable quality, before being coated with our homemade dark or milk chocolate coating. As a gourmet, its taste with hints of caramel is so refined that you have to bite into it to believe it!
This praline paste can then be poured into a bar, molded into shapes created for special occasions, such as Easter or Christmas, or become chocolate candies to be enjoyed as you wish by choosing from one of our pretty boxes. We also love each bar, and find it very difficult to choose between the hazelnut-almond praline, the chocolate praline and feuilletine bar or dark chocolate praline with shortbread almond pieces. Can't decide? We have the solution! Opt for a praline box or an adorable box of praline rocks.
Fall for our dark chocolates
Lovers of the intense aromas of dark chocolate or the creamy sweetness of milk chocolate, our homemade recipes will delight all gourmets. From our rigorous selection of beans, we combine the typical acidity of Madagascar cocoa, the floral aroma of Ecuador, the robustness of Haiti and the spicy aromas of Venezuela to create our signature couverture at the base of all our recipes. Each origin brings its unique flavors that make up a taste specific to the House.
The flavors of our dark chocolate and our milk chocolate are then available in bars (and even very very large bars for the very very big gourmands!), in lollipops, in chocolate candies, in Easter fritures, in papillotes and other treats. This unique coating also wonderfully dresses our iconic creations, like the Carreau du Faubourg with praline or ganache, emblem of the House, the Palet Montmartre, our orangettes, florentins, mendiants, logs with praline and almond pieces, and other elegant delights. Our teams in store will be delighted to collect your opinions once you have tasted these specialties!
