What to expect at Chocolate Museum Paris?

1/4

Travel through 4,000 years of chocolate history

Step into a time machine of taste and culture. From sacred Mayan cacao rituals to its European transformation into a luxury product, the museum brings chocolate’s global story to life through artifacts, dioramas, and multimedia exhibits.

See Paris landmarks sculpted in chocolate

The museum’s chocolate sculptures range from iconic Paris landmarks to whimsical figurines, all handcrafted by master chocolatiers. These creations blend artistic detail with technical precision, turning chocolate into a true visual art form.

Taste creations by master chocolatiers

Tasting is a big part of the experience here. As you make your way through the museum, you’ll get to sample a range of premium chocolates crafted by top French chocolatiers. Whether you prefer silky milk or rich, intense darks, each bite offers a taste of France’s deep-rooted chocolate-making tradition.

Create your own chocolates in a hands-on workshop

Put on an apron and become a chocolatier for the day. These guided workshops walk you through the process of crafting your own chocolates, from pouring and molding to decorating. It’s fun, easy to follow, and you’ll leave with custom treats you actually made yourself.

Things to know before booking your Chocolate Museum tickets

Which experience should you choose?

Standard entry tickets include access to all museum exhibits, interactive displays, and unlimited chocolate tastings. The visit is self-guided, with panels in English, French, and Spanish, allowing you to explore at your own pace.
For a more hands-on experience, purchase the workshop tickets. This includes full museum access plus a 45-minute chocolate-making session with a professional chocolatier. The workshop runs at fixed times, so you can explore the museum either before or after.

Want more context as you go?

You can rent an audio guide at the welcome desk for €3 per person and enrich your visit with cultural context, rare facts, and historical insights to make the most of your visit. Available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch.

Visiting with kids?

Children (up to 12 years old) can join a fun treasure hunt using a free activity booklet available at the entrance. It’s a great way to keep them engaged as they explore the museum.

When to book?

To get your preferred time slot, especially for workshops, it’s best to book 1–2 weeks in advance. This is especially important during weekends, holidays, and school breaks (June to August) when spots fill up quickly.

Chocolate Museum Paris highlights

Ancient cacao relics

Explore original Mayan and Aztec tools used in cacao rituals, highlighting chocolate’s sacred beginnings. Then, explore its rise in Europe with elegant mancerinas, trembleuses, and copper pots once favoured by the nobility.

Situated on: 1st floor

Quetzalcoatl, the chocolate god

See the majestic chocolate sculpture of Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec god who gifted cacao to humankind. Created by master chocolatier Jean-Luc Decluzeau, it’s a striking blend of myth and chocolate art, making it a must-visit photo spot.

Situated on: 1st floor

Paris in chocolate

Marvel at Paris’s most iconic monuments, like a towering 9-foot Eiffel Tower and a 3-foot Arc de Triomphe, recreated entirely in chocolate. These sculptures, crafted by Jean-Luc Decluzeau, are tributes to the city’s architecture and the creative possibilities of cocoa.

Situated on: 2nd floor

Chocolate meets couture

Enter the museum’s most stylish zone, where couture meets confection. Belgian chocolatier Peter Teerlinck has created a one-of-a-kind collection of chocolate dresses, hats, heels, and handbags, each one designed entirely from real chocolate.

Situated on: 2nd floor

Nature, recreated in cocoa

Don’t be fooled by those wood grains, stone textures, and metallic finishes: they are all crafted from chocolate. These hyper-realistic sculptures by Stéphane Leroux, one of France’s top chocolate artists, blur the line between nature and dessert in jaw-dropping detail.

Situated on: 2nd floor

Chocolate wall of fame

Turns out, even celebrities can’t keep their hands off chocolate. Literally. At this star-studded wall, you’ll find chocolatey handprints from beloved French icons like Jean-Paul Belmondo, Nicoletta, and Philippe Conticini. Fame meets fudge in the museum’s sweetest photo op.
