For Easter 2025, Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet has pulled out all the stops! Not one, not two, not three, but 10 chocolate and pastry chefs have been invited to come up with original, exclusive and oh-so-chocolatey creations for the occasion.
This is a real godsend, because instead of having to scour the four corners of Paris, Easter chocolates from all the major chocolate houses are now available at a single address: the Galeries Lafayette temple of gastronomy, on Boulevard Haussmann, right in the heart of the capital.
We got a sneak preview of some of Le Gourmet's exclusive Easter 2025 creations. Which one are you going to fall for?
This season, Le Gourmet invites Nicolas Paciello to a gourmet pop-up until May 6. In an exclusive show, the pastry chef unveils his Mini-Rocher Gianduja, a hazelnut moelleux, a milk chocolate and hazelnut gianduja cream, whole roasted hazelnuts and a hazelnut praliné coulant, coated in a milk chocolate and chopped almond rocher glaze. Irresistible!
The historic chocolatier-confiseur Louis Fouquet, based on Avenue Montaigne, has designed an elegant trio of chocolate eggs for Le Gourmet, signed with the LF monogram and presented in a case: two eggs in milk chocolate Grand Cru Ghana 43% and one in dark chocolate Grand Cru Ghana sao palme 67%. Each is garnished with fried and praline-coated eggs.
Once again, Belgian chef Pierre Marcolini has decided to work dried fruit into his Easter creations. For Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet, he offers a milk chocolate egg topped with 10 small praline eggs with pistachio, pecan, almond paste, Breton shortbread, brownie and speculoos.
Easter 2025 has once again inspired Yannick Alléno and Aurélien Rivoire! This year, the chefs honor the Fève, an imaginary egg inspired by the equatorial forest, featuring a thin shell of 66% dark Caribbean chocolate, lined inside with cocoa nibs and enclosing delicious mignardises in dark chocolate, milk chocolate, hazelnut praline, cocoa shortbread praline and dark chocolate-coated almonds.
Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, the factory of the eminent Michelin-starred chef, unveils exclusively for Le Gourmet the Tablette Hippocampe noir 75% et fleur de sel. This playful, almost regressive creation echoes the company's seabed-themed Easter collection.
For this exclusive 2025 creation, Jean-Paul Hévin, named "World's Best Chocolatier-Pâtissier in 2023-2024", reinterprets his iconic Easter egg as an Arrosoeuf, a watering can egg stamped with a red flower and available in two versions:
