Successively a confectioner in various luxury hotels, Patrice Chapon, originally from the Jura department of France, decided to settle in London where he worked in collaboration with the head ice-cream chef appointed by the royal family at Buckingham Palace, enabling them to discover flavours of French ice-creams.
After coming back to France in 1984, Patrice Chapon created his production laboratory, and his career to date has brought him numerous awards, most notably, the "Chocolat Grand Prix of Paris" in 2003.
For Patrice Chapon, chocolate is an art of living, as today it is necessary for a healthy balance. It is a part of our lifestyle. To show this, he takes pains to always encase his chocolate differently, be it in a sugar box, a traveling trunk, a presentation gift box, a porcelain set or an apron, to fill a house with a mood in which chocolate is a symbol of welcoming; of love and social interaction.
