Atelier Edwart
244 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris
Lisa and her team welcome you to their workshop in front of the Tuileries Gardens for exceptional workshops and delicious chocolate tastings.
You can choose between the Fun Workshop (1 hour) and the Alchemy Workshop (1 hour and 30 min). The Fun Workshop will introduce you to the secrets of “rochers”, which are praline chocolates covered with various toppings. The Alchemy Workshop is more technical; you will learn to make double-layered chocolates with molds.
These workshops are relatively short, so children who are at least 12 or 16 years old (depending on the workshop) can enjoy the process of making chocolate with their parents.
You must have at least four people to book a workshop, so this is the perfect opportunity to do an activity with family or friends.
❤️ We love: the expertise and teaching skills of the staff
💰 Price: €208 for four people at the Fun Workshop, €288 for four people at the Alchemy Workshop

Rrraw Cacao Factory
8 rue de Mulhouse, 75002 Paris

To introduce their business to more people, they offer several workshops that allow you to learn about the process of creating raw chocolate and to make your own chocolate bar or truffles.
Their commitment is both ecological and social: to help people enjoy high-quality organic chocolate while reducing the impact of its transportation on the environment. The master chocolate makers share their motivation and passion during these unique workshops.

The Cordon Bleu Institute of hotel and culinary arts opens their doors to the public for a high level workshop about the secrets of chocolate.
Since it is a recurring workshop, the recipes change depending on the date: you might make a dark chocolate tart, Breton shortbread with milk chocolate and caramel, or chocolate truffles and mendiants.
Because the institute is part of a network of private schools that have campuses all around the world, the class is taught in French but is translated into English in real time, and you must be over 18 to participate.
❤️ We love: the goodies offered by the Cordon Bleu Institute (an apron, kitchen towel, and even a cool bag!)
