La Chocolaterie Cyril Lignac

Paris


At this navy blue–fronted boutique-tearoom, celebrity chef Cyril Lignac sells his superb range of chocolate bars – over 25 different varieties in flavours such as green tea and sesame or coconut and raspberry, plus his chocolate-hazelnut spread – along with pastries, cakes and biscuits to eat in or take away. When it's chilly, warm up with a wonderfully rich, thick hot chocolate.
