For Easter 2026, Brach Paris, the stylish hotel designed by Philippe Starck nestled in the 16th arrondissement, has revealed a new chocolate creation by Fabien Emery, head pastry chef of the Evok Collection group: the "Eclipse" Easter Egg. Available from March 20 to April 7, 2026, it will be on display both in Paris and Madrid (yes, there’s also a Brach in Spain!).
The idea stems from a rare astronomical event: a total solar eclipse that will be visible across Europe on August 12, 2026. Rather than simply describing the sky, Fabien Emery embraces this moment as a sensation — a suspended instant when light shifts and eyes subtly lift upward. From this unique atmosphere, he creates a Easter-themed object designed as much for display and admiration as for sharing and tasting. A beautiful way to capture the essence of the phenomenon before it even occurs.
With a well-defined silhouette, this indulgence is crafted with meticulous precision. It starts with a base of Gaya 64% dark chocolate, paired with a hazelnut praline. The ensemble is enhanced by two crispy elements: one made from Gaya 64% dark chocolate studded with hazelnut pieces, and another in Tanea 43% milk chocolate, also sprinkled with hazelnuts. The dark chocolate provides depth, the hazelnut adds richness, and the crunchy bits bring a delightful surprise with every bite.
This masterpiece bears the signature of Fabien Emery, an acclaimed pastry chef who took over from Yann Brys as the head of the sweet creations at Evok Collection. Each piece masterfully balances flavor and presentation. The egg weighs 600 grams, stands 16 centimeters tall, and is available for 60 euros.
