A Christmas collection from the Maison du Chocolat arrives in stores this Wednesday, November 13, 2019. The universe of this end of the year is snowflakes and polar bears. Behind these studied delicacies hides Nicolas Cloiseau, the chef, best worker of France chocolatier. Bûche, Advent calendar, chocolates to taste, limited edition creation to offer (s), etc. : gourmets are at the party.

I was able to discover the Christmas creations of the Maison du Chocolat at the same time as those that will best embellish the beginning of the year 2020: the galettes ganache of kings and queens and the collection "Paris je t'aime" of Valentine's day. Lovers of luxury objects, I suggest you also show the Pinel & Pinel briefcase for La Maison du Chocolat, to dream a little!
