The best chocolate

It is no secret that Paris is home to some of the most talented chocolatiers in the world. Indeed, we owe the democratization of chocolate in France to Anne of Austria, who married Louis XIII in 1615 and spread this treasure throughout the Palace of Versailles. A few years later, in 1671, Louis XIV opened the first Parisian store selling "drinking chocolates."
