After his two bistros, and his four pastries, Cyril Lignac has decided to open this Tuesday, March 22, a Chocolaterie. Created with his sidekick, pastry chef Benoît Couvrand, this shop, open 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., offers the opportunity to buy or taste chocolate in all its forms:tablets, bars, hot chocolate, spreads, pastries and many more surprises. According to Le Figaro, you will have the choice between fifteen artisanal tablets. Made in a laboratory in Saint-Ouen, the “Origins” bars (from €6 to €6.50):dark Grand Cru Ecuador (62%) or Grand Cru Creation milk (35.5%); the “Inclusions” (€8):black grand cru sesame and green tea or grand cru milk nougatine and almonds; and sweets (€10), similar to Lindt Chocoletti already pre-cut in a tablet (each contains 18):grand cru milk caramel and marshmallow or dark grand cru mint.
You can also discover five chocolate bars (€5) with milk biscuit caramel or coconut/raspberry, revisiting the Mars, the Snickers or the Bounty. As for pastries, you will have the opportunity to fill your stomach for the modest sum of 6€ maximum. On the program:chocolate tart, éclair, Caribbean, hazelnut entremets, muffin, brownie, tonka brioche, chocolate-orange roll, chocolate tiger, chocolate-caramel cookie or macaroons.
And if you prefer pastries without chocolate? Don't worry:visitors can also come and enjoy this pretty "chocolate room", tasting the cakes they have bought in Cyril's pastry shop, just opposite. Our mouths are already watering! And you?
The Cyril Lignac Chocolate Factory. 25, rue Chanzy (11th). Tel.:01 55 87 21 40. Open every day, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Breakfast formula:€10.
