There are lots of ways to declare your love for Valentine’s Day. The most classic is the one that proves its worth every year: the box of chocolates. This time again, the greatest craftsmen of the cocoa bean have prepared special boxes, each more gourmet than the next.
Alain Ducasse
These very graphic little hearts hide an almond praline with orange zest and orange compote. A citrus-chocolate alliance reminiscent of the famous orangettes.

Pierre Marcolini
We never get tired of her melting little hearts. Pierre Marcoline is enriching its offer this year with two newcomers to its range: the peppery strawberry heart which leaves no one indifferent with its tangy hint of Timuth. The almond heart contains a strawberry carmel.

Maison Boissier, which has been delighting gourmets since 1827, is thinking of those who don’t like chocolate with this little box of confectionery from yesteryear. Inside, delicious little hearts with a good cherry taste.
