Master chocolatier, pâtissier and glacier Gilles Marchal apprenticed with chocolatier and pastry chef Claude Bourguignon in the Lorraine region before heading to Paris, where he worked at prestigious establishments such as Le Crillon, the Plaza Athénée and Le Bristol.

In 2007, he succeeded Robert Linxe, founder of La Maison du Chocolat, as creative director of the legendary Paris chocolate shop.
