Maison Georges Larnicol, Chocolatier and confectionery store in the 6th arrondissement, Paris
Maison Georges Larnicol is a chocolatier and confectionery store in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, offering pralines, truffles, bonbons, biscuits, and small cakes. The display cases are colorful and clearly arranged, making it easy to see the full range at a glance.
The shop was founded in 1985 in France and built its reputation on traditional recipes and quality ingredients. Over time it became an established address in Paris for handmade chocolates and Breton specialties.
Georges Larnicol won the title of best pastry chef in France in 1993, which gave the shop its reputation. Today visitors come mostly for the Kouignettes, small buttery cakes in the Breton tradition, available in several flavors.
The shop is in the 6th arrondissement, a neighborhood that is easy to explore on foot and lined with cafes and small boutiques. It makes a good stop during a walk in the area, as the shop tends to stay open in the evenings.
Some of the biscuits are made with buckwheat flour following a Breton tradition, which gives them a slightly nutty and earthy flavor. Certain fragile products such as macarons and chocolate lollipops are not shipped by post for quality reasons.
