Part chocolate shop, part sculpture gallery, this Patrick Roger chocolate shop on the picture-perfect Place St. Sulpice is where you can buy a box of top quality, couture chocolates. And if you'd like to have a look at the chocolate maker's sculpture collection, a monumental work (Hippos 2012) is on display upstairs here and spans the whole second floor. Truly one of those "only in Paris" experiences.
His other shops, the one on Place Madeleine is also worth visiting. It won the honor of the Best Boutique in Paris last year out of over 6000 boutiques considered for the competition. There, too, you will find the sculptures in the windows, all made of chocolate, as well as a sculpture gallery on the second floor above the chocolate shop.
EXPERT TIPS BY:
Paige Donner
Paris Local Expert
- Best Shopping: "You can buy the book "La sculpture A Du Gout," by Patrick Roger as well as his chocolates at his boutiques all across Paris. And do yourself a cultural favor while indulging your sweet tooth, ask to see the sculpture exhibits upstairs at his Place Madeleine and Place St. Sulpice boutiques. Each features exquisite displays of this master chocolatier's lifesized sculptures in materials ranging from aluminum to steel."
- Christmas Shopping: "You can buy the book "La sculpture A Du Goût," by Patrick Roger as well as his chocolate bars at the shop of the Musée Rodin."
- Recommended as Best Shopping Because: When you're torn between indulging in specialty foods shopping or going to an art exhibit, do both - stop in at Patrick Roger's boutiques.
- Best for Christmas Shopping Because: This chocolatier's sculpture is on display now through February 2016 at the newly re-opened Musée Rodin.
