These chocolate look scrumptious! The top picture reminds me of the gold-wrapped Ferrero Rocher you can buy in stores.

His pavés were my favorite of all the chocolates I tasted in Paris. I'm all for wild flavors and textures in chocolates, but omg, I couldn't keep away from the pavés! It's all I can do to stop staring at their pic...

such a disarming smile! i agree with nina on the pavés....

Hi David,
Hmmm.. the Tamagawa branch in Tokyo is quite close to my office... I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for the Japan link.

I visited his shops a couple of years back and was in awe of his creativity and the quality of the chocolate...thanks to a post you had done about him. Thanks for the precious tips, it's hard to keep up while I am so far away!

Are you kidding me. Took the family to Paris two years ago and stayed at a little boutique hotel just down the street from his chocolate shop. Tried some the first day. Needless to say, he was our first visit everyday thereafter. Bought a medium sized box of the Paves every morning and snacked on them as we toured Paris. What an awesome place and incredible chocolates.

we sampled his paves at a family friend's house - it was heavenly!!!! they bought it from japan.... the moment i found this entry i immediately rang my parents to let them know where they can find such heavenly chocolats... and guess what? they ARE going to japan in may haha...

i wonder why he doesn't have a french website?

I had 30 of Honduras per day here, Michel himself called me Madam Honduras! Best Paves in Paris, Best chocolate in Paris... Grew up with MC chocolates
