Easter Egg at Hôtel de Crillon 2026 by Matthieu Carlin: the Gourmet Streetlamp

On the occasion of Easter 2026, the Hôtel de Crillon reveals a limited-edition chocolate egg inspired by the iconic lamp posts of Place de la Concorde, crafted by Matthieu Carlin. This exclusive creation will be available starting March 27, 2026, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.

For Easter 2026, the Hôtel de Crillon is lighting up the season with an exclusive chocolate display crafted by its Pastry Chef Matthieu Carlin, set in Place de la Concorde in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. They are offering a limited-edition Easter egg available for online order, perfect for bringing a touch of palace elegance to your holiday table. And for those wishing to continue the celebration on-site, the Crillon also offers a Easter tea time and a brunch in its historic salons.

What will be the Crillon's Easter Egg for 2026?

This year, Matthieu Carlin turns his gaze toward one of the most iconic elements of the Parisian landscape: the lamp post at Place de la Concorde, originally designed in the 19th century by Jacques-Ignace Hittorff. Reinterpreted in a new form, its elegant lines now manifest as a chocolate sculpture, with the crown subtly incorporating the logo of the Hôtel de Crillon and the emblem of the City of Paris. This piece shines a light on the history of the square and its fountains, just as the chef envisioned when creating this artistic tribute.

In terms of design, the piece features a striking contrast: one side is crafted from high-quality milk chocolate 42%, warm and creamy, while the other side showcases dark chocolate 66%, richer and more intense. The top and base are adorned with a delicately crispy almond-hazelnut praline, enhanced with shards of gavotte biscuits to create an enticing play of textures—soft and crunchy. This limited edition Easter egg is available at €85 each, with pre-orders opening on March 1, 2026, via the Crillon’s website. Customers can pick up their order between March 27 and April 19, 2026.
