Patrick Roger
Patrick Roger is a chocolate shop in central Paris where confectionery and artistic sculpture merge into one experience. The displays showcase animals, figures, and abstract shapes crafted entirely from chocolate, ranging from small bonbons to life-sized creations that fill the windows.
Patrick Roger grew up in a family of bakers and pastry makers in the Loire Valley and began learning pastry at age 15, later focusing on chocolate as his medium. He won a major chocolate competition in 1994 and received the title Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2000, one of the highest honors for French artisans.
Patrick Roger names his creations after everyday moments and feelings, turning chocolate into storytelling objects. The shop window displays show sculptures inspired by nature and daily life, making the space a place where craft and imagination become visible to anyone passing by.
The main shop sits on Place de la Madeleine and opens daily from late morning until evening, serving visitors throughout the year. Multiple locations exist across Paris neighborhoods, and the shops are accessible for people using wheelchairs, making it easier to visit and browse the collections.
Patrick Roger sometimes casts his chocolate sculptures into bronze or aluminum to preserve them for years to come. This practice reveals his ambition to keep chocolate art alive long after the original sweet creation would naturally fade.
