33-35 rue du Faubourg Montmartre - 75009 Paris
Opéra - Grands Boulevards
À la Mère de Famille first opened in 1761. Over the years the chocolate shop/confectioners, (which also sells ice cream, cakes and pastries) has become a well-known institution. Located on the corner of rue du Faubourg Montmartre and rue de Richer, the historic boutique and its listed shop window are worth a visit. Inside, it is paradise for those with a sweet tooth: old-style sweet jars, nougats, bergamots, caramels, pralines and marshmallow squares. And, from November, you can buy their homemade iced chestnuts, considered the best in Paris. A must-see! They have a number of other shops in Paris.
