"A superb chocolate and pastry shop in the Marais known for exceptionally executed confections — so notable that high-profile clients like Mick Jagger are said to stock up on the mint-filled chocolates — combining refined texture and flavor." - Alexander Lobrano

We stopped by Jacques Genin after visiting a different location a few days earlier, where we picked up a small box. Once we tried the chocolates back at our hotel and realized just how incredible they were, we knew we had to come back for more to take home. The quality is exactly what you expect—exceptional chocolates, beautifully made and absolutely delicious. That said, this location didn’t quite live up to the experience we had at the other one in terms of service. The woman who helped us wasn’t particularly friendly, and it felt a bit rushed, as if we were expected to already know exactly what we wanted—tough when there’s so much to choose from. Still, the chocolate itself is outstanding and worth it, even if the service here was a bit underwhelming.

Worst guest experience in Paris and for no reason. I came in made eye contact to say hello and they would turn away from me at every opportunity. I waited for another 10 minutes and they said hello to someone else so I left. I went to their location in Marais and it was great, so different

Absolutely the best dark chocolate in Paris truly to die for! The richness and depth of flavor are unmatched, and every bite is a pure delight. A must visit for any chocolate lover in the city 😋

If you are in Paris and if you are chocolate fans, then go no more. Try their dark chocolate ganache, sea salt toffee, their fruit candy… can tell no more. I fell in love. The salesperson was kind and patient. I would only recommend to hire more than one to help with moving up the queue. …

Despite the prices, buying here is casual and friendly. I tried sticking to speaking in French but the sales people definitely know English. The chocolates are to die for, and the hidden gems are the very few pastries on sale, for a price, that are nearly perfect in every way. I was able to try a tarte au caramel with walnuts, and the most amazing chou à la crème with a hard sugar glaze. Really amazing stuff and would try even more on a return one day.

Bugs in the candy!!! I was sooo disappointed because this was my favourite candy and chocolate shop. I had walked away after purchasing and noticed an insect on the bottom of one of my just purchased candies :(

For a chocolatier, the ingredients are very disappointing. Using sunflower lecithin, really? The chocolate was good, but I was just expecting more.

Amazing chocolate but the manager of the store (blond woman is extremely rude and aggressive) she ruins the experience
