You never know what to expect in the windows of Patrick Roger’s chocolate shop in Paris. This chocolate artist — named Best French Chocolatier in 2000 — never ceases to surprise and amaze with his life-sized chocolate sculptures and eccentric window displays.

Giant easter eggs, a life-sized cacao farmer, chocolate astronauts walking on the moon, chocolate polar bears and huge upside-down chocolate hearts have all delighted and amused passersby.

Known for their exotic yet refined flavor combinations, Roger’s chocolates feature such duos as lime and caramel, lemon and basil, lemon and thyme, or almond and pistachio.

He draws his inspiration, he says, from his mother’s kitchen and the countryside where he grew up.

One of his signature items is his one-meter long box of superb bonbons.

Speciality: “Marie Galante” – a classic, exquisite blend made with the finest Caribbean cacao beans
