ROY

Madame Roy opened this chocolate shop on June 16, 1948, at 27 rue de Longchamp in Paris's 16th arrondissement, positioned between the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, and the business has stayed at that same address for more than seventy-five years since. The chocolate range covers boxed assortments, tasting squares, tablets, florentines and truffles, alongside French confectionery staples the shop has built its reputation on: marrons glaces (candied chestnuts), calissons, nougats, caramels and liqueur-filled chocolates. A companion address next door, at 29 rue de Longchamp, houses a dedicated tea and coffee counter carrying more than 100 varieties of teas, infusions, rooibos and carcadets sourced from origin producers - effectively doubling the shop's footprint on the same block rather than folding tea into the chocolate counter itself. Under current owner Stephane Douville, the shop describes its sourcing as "rigoureusement selectionne" (rigorously selected), and the business now runs an online boutique with delivery across Paris in as little as two hours, plus free shipping across mainland France on orders over €50 and a dedicated corporate gifting catalog. Regular hours run Monday through Saturday, 10am to 8pm. The combination of a fixed 1948 address and a modern same-day delivery layer is the throughline: a neighborhood institution that has kept its physical anchor while building out logistics around it.
