Located in the vibrant heart of the Golden Triangle, LOUIS FOUQUET Chocolatier opens his new boutique on the Avenue Montaigne in Paris and has become a symbol of exquisite taste and tradition. With roots dating back to 1852, this renowned chocolatier and confectioner continues to delight chocolate lovers with its blend of artisanal expertise and modern elegance. LOUIS FOUQUET’s recent move from Rue François 1er to 6 Avenue Montaigne marks a new chapter in its storied legacy, creating a space that celebrates both the rich history of chocolate making and the contemporary allure of Parisian chic.
A glimpse into the heart of craftsmanship
Christophe Tollemer, the visionary architect behind the boutique’s design, meticulously created a space that pays tribute to the art of chocolate making. At the heart of the store is a conche, traditionally used in chocolate production, reimagined as a piece of discovery furniture. This focal point not only showcases LOUIS FOUQUET‘s iconic products, but also invites visitors on a journey through the world of fine chocolate, under the watchful eye of illustrious clients from the past, immortalized in portraits and thoughtful words that adorn the store’s walls.

Parisian elegance and Haussmannian charm
The design is a subtle nod to Haussmann’s Paris, with delicate moldings that evoke memories of the city’s grandeur during the era of Baron Haussmann. The choice of materials and colors – Emperor marble, bronze, wood and a palette inspired by soft vanilla caramel – creates an ambience that is both elegant and welcoming. The main color, reminiscent of the Maison’s signature vanilla caramel, extends to the chocolate boxes, complemented by a coral red used for the confectionery boxes, adding a bright and sparkling touch to the overall atmosphere.
Christophe TOLLEMER, Un Autre Regard’s architect, shared his insights: “The conche is the focal point of the store, allowing us to present our products in a way that invites discovery, tasting and admiration. The materials and colors, especially marble and wood, embody the elegance that is synonymous with Louis Fouquet.“
