CHOCOLATE-DIPPED IN PARIS

Opening this month in Paris, Choco-Story: A Gourmet Chocolate Museum is a delectable, sensual journey through 4,000 years of cacao bean history and everything that’s been done to it and with it since. The exhibits are divided into three parts: the origins of chocolate; its evolution once it was discovered by the Aztecs and Maya and its introduction to Europe by Cortes; and an amazing collection of chocolate “paraphernalia.” In a hands-on spirit, chocolate culinary workshops are offered for both children and adults.
(Psst: the chocolate boutique alone is worth the visit!)


28 Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle
Open daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
