In Paris, gourmets are spoilt for choice. Among the best food concepts is Amone, the capital’s first Cordon Bleu bar. Lovers of sweet delights are not left out, as evidenced by this ultra-regressive madeleines bar. And while some food concepts are short-lived, such as the Bar à Millefeuille or Chef Philippe Conticini ‘s Bar à Chouquettes , in Paris, a chocolate mousse bar has become a permanent fixture. It’s called Bar à mousse au chocolat Chapon, and here’s why it’s got what it takes…
More than a guilty pleasure: chocolate mousse
Regressive and comforting, chocolate mousse is the dessert that puts everyone in agreement. Authentic, gourmet, airy… it melts the palate of young and old alike. And while even a poor cook can make a chocolate mousse, it’s hard to find the perfect recipe. But in Paris, there’s a veritable temple to choco’ mousse: the Chapon chocolate mousse bar.
Maison Chapon, the exceptional artisan chocolatier!
Cocoa lovers: in Paris, artisan chocolatier Maison Chapon is THE reference for chocolate. At the helm is the talented Patrice Chapon, with his expertise and passion. In fact, the artisan chocolatier is the only one to roast his own cocoa beans, in the heart of his Parisian workshop. A workshop that enables Maison Chapon to craft exceptional chocolates from a unique recipe.
In Paris and Ile-de-France, lovers of hot chocolates, gourmet treats and tablettes can find 7 Chapon boutiques. Among them is the Chapon boutique on rue du Bac, nestled in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. What makes it special? It features a Chocolate Mousse Bar that’s sure to delight fans of the famous creamy, mousse-like dessert.
