Chocolate shop — Grandes-Carrières (Paris)
About
À la Mère de Famille is Paris's oldest chocolate shop and confectionery, established in 1761. Set in a Belle Époque storefront with celadon-green woodwork and marble panels, it embodies timeless Parisian elegance. The house offers over a thousand artisanal references: handcrafted chocolates and pralines, French confectionery classics (roudoudoux, marshmallows, calissons, candied oranges), almond paste, feuilletine truffles, and fruit-studded mendiants. Since 2009, artisanal ice creams have expanded the selection. Renowned for praline quality and innovative creations blending tradition with modernity, the brand maintains a family spirit and quality service, offering products as beautiful as they are delicious in retro packaging ideal for gifts.
