“A Chocolate buying in Valentine season”

Feb 2024

Decorated chocolate sets displayed were too cute to deny to buy. Vintage atmosphere. Corner store around mare district

“Overly sweet, unpleasantly textured, and expensive waffles”

Oct 2019

The gaufres (thin, flat waffles with vanilla/butter/sugar filling) were highly recommended to me, but I didn't enjoy any of the flavors I tried. The classic vanilla flavor is exceedingly sweet. The pistachio was better in flavor, but all the gaufres had a texture that I really didn't like: the waffles are slightly firm and dryish, but they feel more stale than crispy. The fillings are quite grainy from the sugar crystals. In addition, they're very pricey for what they are: a box of 6 gaufres is 18.50 euros. I honestly really regret purchasing any. These aren't made on-site, so maybe the ones in Lille are better?

Very nice chocolate and very friendly, welcoming staff

Jun 2016 • Family

Just passing by and decided to take a look. Interesting, great tasting chocs, not too expensive and some free samples too. Best of all, the lady in the shop was very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. A lovely find a short walk from Pont Neuf.

Candy and sweets that are extraordinary

Jun 2015 • Couples

This little jewel box of sweets is like no other in Paris. Find it in the Marais and indulge your sweet tooth. The flavored marshmallows are nothing I have ever tasted. The chocolate flavors of the truffles were endless. All kinds of dazzling delightful goodies.

Great Le Marais chocolates - amazing waffles (vanille de Madagascar)!

Apr 2015 • Family

We stumbled across this wonderful, quaint little chocolate shop as we were wandering the streets of Le Marais...and my kids could not have been happier! Meert is a great find...their chocolates are excellent, but even better are their waffles (vanille de Madagascar)...a flat waffle filled with delicious vanilla from Madagascar. Spectacular and tasty! A must try if you are in Paris/Le Marais. We also enjoyed their bread (a sweet loaf of brioche...or something like that). Everything we sampled was great...worth a visit!
