This is a beautiful shop with very nice products and kind staff. It seems that each time I visit there is the familiar high quality chocolate, sweets, teas, pineau but also new arrangements. It’s a nice place to treat yourself or your loved ones. One of the other reviews mentioned the chocolate mushrooms - they are delicious! The tins make for great gifts.

Very bad experience, the eldest gentleman (owner?) was basically being racist to us. We were looking around the shop and intended to make a purchase, my 11 year old son was struggling to read some of the descriptions on the chocolates so was using his Android phone to translate using the camera and Google translate. The older lady came rushing over and shouted to us in French that he shouldn't be using his phone in the shop and pointed to a sign on the door (in French.) I tried to show her that he was using a translation app as he is still learning French but she was very rude and gestured to us to leave. When I tried to complain the older gentleman came out and told us that 'you English are all rude.' We obviously left without making a purchase. Some friends had already bought some macaroons and would have stopped the purchase if it had happened before paying. They advised they were overpriced and not that tasty. Beware if you aren't French in this shop!
