It was cheaper to just buy the chocolate biscuits back home. But I wanted something memorable. The chocolate biscuits were delicious. There were other flavors as well. B got some chocolate cookies to bring back. It had lots of chocolate chips in the cookies. Except it crumbled easily. Other than that they were good. Good French quality. It is located in the touristy area. Highly recommend coming here. They also provide samples before purchase.

Looking at all the colors and shapes is just a feast for your eyes. They offered delicious samples of their biscuits. I was really impressed that they even offered vegan biscuits, which we bought. Our kid loved the biscuits and asked for more. I wish we had a local biscuit/candy shop near our house. If that was the case, I think I would be severely overweight. lol

The most retro sweet shop in Paris!…read more Le Bonbon au Palais sells the traditional sweets from every region in France, many of which I used to eat when I was a kid. George, the owner, knows his stuff by heart and if you ask he will patiently explain the difference between the 4 different types of salted caramels he stocks or the detailed history of each sweet. Of course, it's slightly more expensive than what you'll get from the supermarket but the sweets at Le Bonbon au Palais are so much better you really can't compare them to Haribo's industrial crap! Not to mention you'll also be buying a little piece of French history and nostalgia along with the sugar...

The oldest chocolate store in Paris does not disappoint. Not only is it undeniably quaint inside,…read morebut the chocolate and sweet selection makes you wish we had anything like this in America. This isn't a gimmick- it's the best chocolate I've ever had. I wish I bought some more and might order more of this online because it's that good. (Also, both staff members were exceptionally helpful especially in guiding my son who was completely overwhelmed by the selection, which is what you would expect of a kid in a candy shop.)

I made a special point to go to come here after reading that it was the oldest chocolate shop in…read moreParis. We happened to go on Valentine's Day so, even though it was raining, there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up last minute gifts. We purchased some dark chocolate bars, marzipan and hazelnut chocolate treats and they were all delicious. The shop itself was so cute and felt like stepping back in time. Really loved the whole vibe and will hopefully be back!

Careful when you go here. Madame Acabo says she is a lover of chocolate... I would say a closer…read moredescription would be a drug dealer or chocolate pusher... I came in wanting just a piece of fine bernachon chocolate... and I mysteriously walked out with 7. The thing is, Denise Acabo is not shady about pushing chocolate on you; she is not a corrupt saleswoman. What makes it so easy to spend money is the joy radiating from her as she describes every piece of chocolate, and as you listen to her describe the chocolate too fast to understand with your high school french... you realize that you, too, want that same joy... and maybe- just maybe- if you eat as much chocolate as her, you will get to experience it too.

Madame Acabo is such a sweetheart. To this day my son recalls her calling him chouchou and how she…read moreexcitedly showed him all the chocolates he could ever dream off. I was mesmerized by the table full of Bernachon chocolate bars and did not noticed how my child had practically filled the platter Madame was holding for him with Bernachon chocolate bon bons. Oh mon dieu! Imagine that - my child speaks very limited French and Madame speaks limited English yet they sure shared the language of chocolates! Do not forget to grab a few of those Bernachon bars - your family/friends would be very lucky to receive those from you. However, if they don't want it, let me know and I'll take them off your hands. :) Try the Kalouga, Mendiant, Mocha...oh heck try them all!! They also carry fabulous Caramel Buerre Sale! Service is great and the place is jam packed with treasures. Worth the visit!!

The lady that was working behind the counter was so rude.

After about a minute, I went and asked her for him. She took a big sip of water and pointed to her mouth annoyed that I too had asked a question. At that point, we went ahead and paid for the pieces my kids had in the bag and just left. Maybe she was just having a bad day but her behavior was unnecessary.

Among the superettes along Boulevard de Beaumarchais, this was our chosen one (and conveniently…read moreclosest to our hotel). This superette has the most attractive arrangement of produce just under the awning. Not only was it nicely arranged, but it also always looked super fresh and ready to eat. Inside is super tiny (about four aisles), but you will find everything from beverages (juice, water, soda) to sandwiches to cookies to carrefour suchard candy (oui oui). Prices are reasonable, and there's a good selection of pantry, produce, and other miscellaneous items that you'd find at a regular market and convenience store. I believe a father/son own this superette, as we saw the son every night (of our 6 nights in Paris), and his father on one of the nights. You can tell they take great pride in their superette. We would always see the son rearranging the produce or organizing the beverages. Every night, we would stop in so Mom could buy her one produce item-banana (for the next morning). He always greeted us very warmly, and with that smile of recognition (like he'd say to himself, "Hey, it's these ladies again.. Nice to see them again type of thing"). He'd ring us up very happily, and say something to us in French (which I believe was complimentary as he was smiling at us and laughing with us). One night, we even surprised him and bought more than just the produce, but water, suchard candy, and gum. Even though he spoke little English, we knew he was appreciative and happy to see us. It's like coming home every time we walked into Superette Beaumarchais. Will miss seeing our friend and daily visits at Superette Beaumarchais. Until next time, Au revoir...

As a tourist who visited the store to see if they had any of the Bubs + skull Swedish candies, I…read morewas lured in when I saw them. I'd asked them how much it'd cost per pound and I could've sworn 99.9% that it was 3.49€ euro per kg which is such a great deal as it was 4.99€ at the pirate's candies... thank goodness I didn't load up on a lot because when I went to pay and it was €23.... I was shocked but took the hit as I didn't speak french. I got the receipt and it said 34,90€ per kg. I'm not sure if this was misleading or it was a miss on my part but be careful if you visit! There is no signage for pricing. Also, the candies are extremely stale and harden because the containers are exposed. I don't know why stores do this... but like put lids on them please because they were not great.
