At “À la Mère de Famille”, artisanal recipes between tradition and innovation
Since the installation of our historic boutique in 1761 at 35, rue du Faubourg Montmartre in Paris , our chocolate shop À la Mère de Famille has offered nearly a hundred homemade recipes that have won the hearts of chocolate lovers, including the famous praline rocks, the creamy spread, our signature couverture with inimitable aromas, and the essential Palets Montmartre. In addition to these chocolatey delicacies, there is a whole range of delicate confectionery: melting fruit pastes, crunchy calissons, soft chocolate marshmallows, creamy truffles, crunchy nougatines, candied chestnuts… and so many others to discover!
All are the result of a delicate balance between a constant search for innovation and ancient gestures, sometimes of great technicality, such as the grinding of our cold praline or the coating of our chocolate candies decorated by hand. Thus, the unique and complex recipe of our Signature Candied Chestnuts required three years of development with a partner artisan – because to make the best delicacies, we surround ourselves with the best – to achieve a result that is as tender as it is soft.

Dark chocolate, the best for your health?
Are you hesitating before ordering from our online chocolate shop , wondering which chocolate to choose to combine pleasure and benefits? We would like to tell you that treating yourself should be a daily well-being reflex! But also that cocoa is a delicious way to take care of yourself… provided you choose it of good quality, cultivated and harvested in a demanding manner, and to taste it in reasonable quantities (you are free to place the cursor of reason where you want…)
Indeed, cocoa, in addition to being tasty when enhanced by refined blends, has positive effects on morale, stress, and sleep. It also contains antioxidants and flavonoids that help prevent cardiovascular diseases. If you needed one, here is an excellent reason to combine business with deliciousness by, for example, biting into one of our dark chocolate bars from the Grands Crus Collection , made from cocoas with unique characteristics and an intense, full-bodied taste.
All the benefits… of all chocolates
But no need to be jealous, lovers of milk chocolate or chocolate with dried fruits can also stock up on interesting minerals and nutrients. Milk chocolate contains, like dark chocolate, magnesium, iron and zinc in smaller quantities. It also provides calcium thanks to the presence of milk.
You will also be pleased to learn that chocolate with dried fruits, such as our Biarritz rocks, our mendiants, or our Praline Collection bars , combine the protective benefits of cocoa with those of oilseeds. The latter are rich in fiber, vegetable proteins, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. Lots of complicated words for positive actions: they help regulate cholesterol and strengthen the immune system. An excellent choice for varying pleasures… and nutritional intake.
To choose or not to choose, that is the question
Difficult to choose between everything that tempts you? Don't do it by opting on our online chocolate shop for a ballotin to offer (or treat yourself), and enjoy an assortment of our different chocolate recipes, presented in a pretty box. We recommend for example our chocolate box of specialties, where crispy toucans rub shoulders with melting palets, vitamin-rich orangettes, crunchy dolfentins coated in honey, and many other sweets. Are you more of a praline fanatic? Our box that brings together all our recipes Our box that brings together all our praline recipes (or praline chocolate as some sometimes call them) will make you happy!
