A la Mère de Famille

Paris’s oldest sweet shop, founded in 1761 and still operating in its original location, is a marvellous little store that hasn’t changed much over the past 250 years.

Here, chocolate lovers will find ice cream in several enticing flavors, among them chocolate sorbet, chocolate-mint, and chocolate with candied orange and a hint of vodka.

The company now has several other locations in Paris, but a visit to the original shop is a must for lovers of Paris and chocolate alike.

A visit to this shop is like stepping back in time.

The floor tiles, display cases and furnishings are all true vintage Paris. Customers still pay at the antique "cashier's desk," a glass cabin in the middle of the shop.
