If you're looking for the most beautiful and exceptional Christmas logs in Paris in 2025, La Maison du Chocolatcouldwell win the day. Nicolas Cloiseau, chef at La Maison du Chocolat and Meilleur Ouvrier de France, is celebrating Christmas 2025 with a collection that makes Paris his gourmet playground. This year, the Parisian chocolatier is transforming the capital's iconic architecture into exceptional desserts. The Bûche Garnier, the centerpiece of this collection, is directly inspired by the majestic dome ofthe Opéra Garnier. A beautiful tribute to French architectural heritage, combining art, design, and chocolate.
At the crossroads of Haussmann and Eiffel, this 2025 collection revisits the perspectives, rhythms, and metamorphoses of the City of Light. These creations capture the spirit of a fascinating Paris, always on the move, inspiring a visual and gourmet stroll. All the chic of Paris is expressed in these chocolates, designed as edible works of art.
The Bûche Garnier echoes the famous dome of the Opera House: the same roundness, the same audacity, the same flamboyant balance. Beneath its subtly spiced Vanuatu chocolate mousse lies a vibrant mandarin confit, a melt-in-the-mouth nougat with roasted dried fruit pieces, and puffed rice for lightness and crunch. This creation for 8 to 10 people is priced at €210 and is available for pre-order in La Maison du Chocolat stores in Paris and on their website.
Among the other remarkable pieces in this architectural collection, the Sapin Concorde impresses with its verticality. Inspired by the Place de la Concorde, this 85 cm high chocolate tree plays with empty space. With its hollows, openwork and lace, it interacts with the air and captures the light like a sculpture. This limited edition artistic piece, entirely handmade, weighs 5.4 kg and is priced at €4,500. A true work of precision, built as a challenge and designed as a haute couture gesture.
The Bouchée Étoile pays homage to the Place de l'Étoile and its twelve avenues. This bite-sized treat made with almond praline, hazelnuts, and roasted Japanese rice pieces is the perfect combination. The milk chocolate has intense roasted notes. Its dark and ivory chocolate wheels will take your taste buds on a journey, for €33 each.
For lovers of gourmet rituals, the Triomphe Calendar revisits the Christmas countdown with panache. Inspired by the Place de l'Étoile and its twelve avenues, this calendar consists of 24 windows opening onto the magic of Paris. Two moving circles echoing the streets that surround the Arc de Triomphe create a swirling, animated, almost hypnotic effect. Each day brings a chocolate revelation. This Advent calendar is priced at €65 and contains 30 chocolates divided into 24 boxes: dark or milk pralines and delicious squares.
This collection is available in La Maison du Chocolat boutiques in Paris, notably the one on Boulevard de la Madeleine in the 9th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Opéra Garnier, as well as in the historic boutique on Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement, near the Arc de Triomphe. These creations are also available online on the official La Maison du Chocolat website, with the option of in-store pickup or delivery.
This 2025 collection showcases the expertise and creativity of Nicolas Cloiseau, who transforms Parisian monuments into true taste experiences. Christmas Parisian style: a little theatrical, wildly refined, resolutely gourmet. In short, if you're looking for a log cake that's out of the ordinary to impress your guests, the Bûche Garnier is sure to be a hit on your holiday table.
