Bernachon Paris
Bernachon Paris is a small chocolate shop in the 6th district near Rue de Sèvres, displaying bars, filled chocolates, spreads, and specialty items on open shelves and bright counters. The shop uses a bean-to-bar method, selecting from ten varieties of cacao beans sourced globally to create distinctive flavor profiles.
Bernachon was founded in 1953 by Maurice Bernachon in Lyon and has remained family-run through four generations. The Paris shop opened as a natural expansion beyond Lyon, bringing the family's artisanal heritage and methods to the capital.
Bernachon Paris brings a family tradition of handcrafted chocolate making from Lyon to Paris, inviting visitors to experience authentic artisanal methods. The shop creates a warm, familiar setting where people gather to mark special moments and share quality sweets with those they care about.
The shop sits conveniently near Duroc station and is easily walked to from Bon Marche and surrounding shops in the area. Its small size means browsing the full range takes little time, though peak hours can see queues forming at the counter.
The shop still uses vintage machinery for chocolate making from whole beans, giving products an authentic and distinctive flavor that clearly differs from mass-produced varieties. This hands-on traditional method is what the Bernachon family has preserved across the generations.
