Christophe Roussel
Christophe Roussel is a chocolate shop in Paris with locations in the Montmartre neighborhood and inside a hotel lobby near the Eiffel Tower. It offers handcrafted chocolates, pralines, macarons, and creative hot drinks with unusual flavor combinations like passion fruit with tarragon or banana with chocolate.
The founder Christophe Roussel established the business focused on handcrafted chocolate using high-quality cacao beans and artisan techniques. Over time the business expanded to multiple locations to make the creations more accessible to visitors.
The shop carries its founder's name and reflects his dedication to the chocolate craft. Visitors can see and experience how artisan chocolate making remains central to Parisian food culture in this small space.
The Montmartre location on Rue Tardieu is open most of the day with only a short break at lunch. The other location in the hotel lobby near the Eiffel Tower has more limited hours, so it is helpful to check before visiting.
The shop is known as a venue for marriage proposals, where the intimate setting and handcrafted chocolate selection create a personal moment. Some hot chocolates are made using vintage recipes and served thicker and more intense than modern versions.
