Discovering Edwart's World of Chocolate

Tucked away on the charming Rue Vieille du Temple in Le Marais, Edwart Chocolatier invites visitors into a realm where chocolate transcends the ordinary. Founded in 2014 by Edwin Yansané, a passionate chocolatier blending gastronomy, psychology, and mixology, this boutique has earned accolades like the Award for Originality and a spot in the top 10 Parisian chocolatiers by the New York Times. The narrow storefront belies the treasure trove within: shelves lined with petite bonbons, each a meticulously crafted adventure in flavor.

Signature Creations and Unique Flavors

Edwart's star is its bonbons de chocolat—small yet potent, designed to be savored in one bite for a sequenced explosion of taste. Flavors draw from worldwide travels: Taj Mahal with Madras curry delivers a lingering spice, Damas combines coriander, green anise, and star anise, while others feature saffron ganache, Polynesian curry, or monkey bread praline from baobab fruit. Pralinés boast Piedmont hazelnuts and exceptional almonds, with standouts like the addictive 'Le Grain'—a crunchy hazelnut praliné. Tablets, spreads with 58% hazelnuts, and vegan options like orangettes and full boxes round out the offerings, all made with Grand Cru chocolate.

Nearby, the Marais buzzes with history and energy, making Edwart a perfect stop amid exploration.

Operating 11am-8pm daily (with a 12-1pm lunch break weekdays), the shop caters to spontaneous sweet cravings. Prices are accessible by box size, positioning it as a mid-range indulgence. Vegan-friendly and accommodating, it appeals broadly while maintaining artisanal excellence. Whether grabbing a tablet for the road or lingering for flavors like citronnade or oolong tea-infused treats, Edwart promises memorable indulgence in Paris's chocolate scene.
