Open since 1791, À la Mère de Famille is Paris’ oldest sweetshop. An irresistible aroma of chocolate, butter, caramel and almonds permeates every corner of the store, decorated exactly the same as it was the day it opened: mosaic tiled floor, marble counters and wooden furniture. The sweets in the shop window vary depending on the time of year: in the winter it’s the unmistakable marrons glacés, at Easter, the traditional Easter eggs and in summer, ice creams and home-made sorbets The crème de la crème of Parisian sweet shops!
