Easter is coming, Easter is here! Among the main festivals of the Christian calendar, this traditional event is also synonymous with egg hunts, chocolates of all kinds and other childhood wonders.
For the occasion, the big houses are doubling their creativity to delight the little ones and make the adults melt. Here is an overview of the magical and chocolate worlds of Marais artisans
The sacred egg and Luiton the elf, Edwart
Let's take a walk in the woods... At Edwart's this year, not even afraid of the wolf! The teams called upon the spirit of the forest to enchant us.
Leprechauns, mushrooms, herbichoc are adorned with dark or milk chocolate from Tanzania; Feuillantine and hazelnut praline; grilled buckwheat. Lovers of tradition will not be disoriented because the house offers its famous “grain eggs” – soft-boiled, crunchy and garnished eggs – with a novelty: the evil milk chocolate egg filled with peanut praline. Which sits proudly next to the milk chocolate “green grain egg” garnished with pistachio praline and the dark chocolate “black grain egg” with signature vegan hazelnut praline.
Well known to enthusiasts, the Ewart house holds its place.
Figurines: from €19 to €48
Egg box: €36

The Marais art chocolatier, renowned for its chocolate objects, takes its customers on a journey through time. A trip to the Egypt of the pharaohs. This collection, as original as it is impressive, was born from a partnership with the Ramsès de la Villette exhibition.
There we find the famous mask of the king, the unmissable pyramids, statuettes of Horus and Anubis and the famous blue Hippopotamus from the Louvre. In addition to this collection, the house offers more classic bags of chocolate at low prices. Enough to have fun despite inflation.

"And why not ?" This is the theme of the collection signed Jean-Paul Hévin. Here, we return to childhood. And we assume because it is the age of all possibilities and overflowing imaginations.
So, what will you let yourself be tempted by? A balloon egg? A not-new egg? A chicken boat or a rowing fish? A choice made even more difficult by the fact that each piece is generously garnished with fried ingredients, with dark, milk or milk caramel fleur de sel chocolate. Sweet treats to share with family... or to keep for yourself.
After all why not ?
From €21 to €118 per piece.

IT’S TIME TO TO TASTE !
Easter 2024: 4 gourmet artisans in the Marais
Our selection of gourmet and refined delights from two chocolatiers, a tea house and a panettone prince to celebrate the Easter holidays.
3 Belgian addresses in the Marais
Whether they are Walloons or Flemish, the French love the Belgians for their energy and their communicative good humor. Here are some Belgian addresses firmly established in the Marais.
These best workers in France (MOF) from the Marais
To stick only to the food sector, several prestigious “MOFs” have set their sights on the Marais and Ile Saint-Louis, environments perfectly suited to their talents.
NOW ON
THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
