Description

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

This was particularly true for Patrick Roger, Master Chocolatier in Paris. With flavors like "peppery mint Ganache and citronella" and "Sichuan peppercorn Ganache", his box of chocolates was definitely one of the most gourmet (and truly delicious) things I've ever eaten.

Going to his store felt more like going to high end gallery than a candy store. The windows are dark, the walls are black, and the chocolates are displayed with spotlighting, while the air is filled with the intense aroma of chocolate. The final touch was the lifesize orangutan sculpture from chocolate. Besides being master chocolatier, he is also a master sculptor, with pieces in museums (all temporary of course, thanks to the medium). Check out this website for an idea of his work <a href="https://www.patrickroger.com/en/sculptures/primates-gallery" rel="nofollow">www.patrickroger.com/en/sculptures/primates-gallery</a>
