Patrick Roger chocolatier - Chocolate sculptures also edible

Patrick Roger chocolatier is a master chocolatier who fears nothing. With the opening of his new shop on Place de la Madeleine in Paris, the chocolatier Patrick Roger showcases large chocolate sculptures evoking an exotic jungle: a boutique-museum! Patrick Roger chocolatier, awarded Meilleur Ouvrier de France This Meilleur Ouvrier de France is an extravagant and inspired artist. In his quest for excellence, he makes no compromises. The multi-flower honey in his caramels comes from the hives installed on the roof of his chocolate factory! His “Couleurs” candies offer subtle flavor combinations. Silky caramel, verbena and yuzu for the “Sauvage” slate gray, or caramel, vinegar and grape for the “Rafale” buttercup yellow. And why not indulge in the evocative names of “Jalousie,” “Insolence,” “Fantasme” or “Marie Galante”? Magnificent chocolate sculptures. Excellent chocolates. Very good pralines, an exceptional dark chocolate with ginger, and irresistible candied orange peels! Expensive, but you must treat yourself to this taste experience. A chocolate mine in the basement In the basement, the renowned chocolatier offers a cocoa mine: high, dark walls gilded with fine gold, dotted with the famous “Couleurs” candies scented with lemon-basil from the chocolatier. Soft, rounded shapes and dim lighting enhance the cave-like atmosphere… Don’t worry if you can’t eat the sculptures—just visit the ground-floor shop for miniature replicas of Patrick Roger’s collections! A treasure trove of chocolate first and foremost, but also a treasure trove of shapes, textures, and colors… a showcase for edible miniatures, as well as chocolate, bronze, and aluminum sculptures—true passions of the chocolatier artist. Everything is beautiful. Everything is beautiful and good to look at, to touch, or to taste, because as long as there’s Chocolate chez Patrick Roger, there’s Art! The space itself is a cocoon of raw aluminum alveoli, a tribute to eternal nature and, of course, to the bees the artist reveres and cultivates—not just for their honey, but always with a view to biodiversity so essential to preserving our beautiful and generous planet. The space is gentle, wrapped in rounded forms, a bit like an oxygen bubble in the heart of the city, a sphere for dreaming and savoring, a planet devoted exclusively to Art and Chocolate! Three levels of exhibition Three levels to marvel, travel, and lose yourself in the fabulous universe of Patrick Roger… from the mine in the basement, its walls lined with raw chocolate, which, like nuggets, displays a selection of bronze and aluminum sculptures with surprising lines… up to the first floor, dedicated to the pleasure of tasting and collections of sweets with precious and original flavors. “Here, the entire palette of the chocolatier is expressed in an incredible range of variations, like miniature sculptures carved from the very essence of taste!” Finally, on the second floor, the latest creations—sculptures carved and modeled by the master from the very essence of chocolate… A giant “root-tree” spans the entire space, piercing the floors, emerging from the depths of the earth to reach the light, and on which an army of monkeys seems to watch us, taunt us, inviting us to share in the joys of creation!
