Founded in Saint-Etienne (Loire department) by Alsatian chocolatier Eugène Weiss in 1882, Weiss today is one of only a handful of French chocolatiers to make their own chocolate from scratch starting with raw cacao beans.

Eugène Weiss is credited with inventing “haut chocolat,” the art of combining cacao beans of different origins to create chocolate with unique flavours and aromas.

The company makes a wide assortment of ganaches, pralinés and other confections according to the original recipes.

Monsieur Weiss is also said to have invented the Napolitain, a small square of individually wrapped chocolate served with coffee.

In addition to the Paris shop, Weiss has seven other stores in France.

“Like love, chocolate is an eternal source of inspiration, rich with the noblest of emotions.” – Eugène Weiss
