Inspired by the bell in motion, the piece combines emotion and expertise. Its dark chocolate base contains a bar filled with Tahitian vanilla caramel, hazelnut praline, and hazelnut pieces from the Lot region. The bell, also made of dark chocolate, is adorned with delicate arabesques and transformed into an elegant mendiant, decorated with dried and candied fruits: orange, hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios. A work that combines heritage, technique, and indulgence.

L’Éclat by Prince de Galles Paris

Pastry chef Hélène Kerloeguen draws her inspiration from the architecture of the Patio du Prince de Galles Paris, whose mosaic, classified as a historic monument by the Bâtiments de France, becomes the central motif of her Easter creation.

Made from Valrhona organic milk chocolate (56% cocoa, sourced from Côte d’Ivoire), the geometric egg stands out for its precise lines and contemporary aesthetic. At its base, a mendiant-style tablet reveals a crunchy layer of caramelized almonds and hazelnuts. The base, made up of five bars, contains a melt-in-the-mouth pecan praline. The egg itself is filled with chocolate bonbons filled with roasted coconut praline. A subtle dialogue between heritage, terroir and expertise.
