Le Barbouquin sur Paris

07/06/2026: As a long-time loyal customer, I was very disappointed with the way my ice cream was prepared during my visit to the Lindt Boutique Paris Opéra yesterday. It felt rushed and lacked the care I usually expect from the brand (the cone was empty of chocolate, the ice cream was crooked, and it lacked the sauce and the small square of chocolate). I even mentioned it to the cashier at the time, but my comment was dismissed with laughter, without any real listening or understanding of my dissatisfaction. This experience does not reflect the level of service I have come to expect from Lindt.

02/06/2026: Since this chocolate is also available in Japan, I didn't specifically choose it as a souvenir... However, they were having a "buy one, get one free" deal on out-of-season items (during my 2018 visit, they were still using the previous year's Christmas packaging)... so I bought some! There's also a section where you can buy by weight (choose your favorite flavors)! I think it's great for sampling. You can also have coffee at the cafe! The Roissy bus stop is right in front of the shop! Added in 2020: The large packages are bulky, but they make great souvenirs for colleagues and look very nice. As a side note, You receive a piece of chocolate at the entrance when you enter the shop! I bought several bars of chocolate for myself. Be careful when buying lots of chocolate, as it can get quite heavy! Added in 2024: The cafe has moved to the back of the shop and is very popular during the winter! The price of the chocolate doesn't seem to have increased that much. Shopping bags are now charged for, and the free chocolate samples they used to give out upon entry are gone. Perhaps because they're busy...the staff are a little intimidating. Added 2026/1 I bought the Dubai chocolate that was popular last year as a souvenir! The taste...it's not good. They had mini chocolate bars, so I bought those too.
