À la Mère de Famille first opened in 1761. Over the years the chocolate shop, which also sells ice cream, cakes and pastries, has become a well-known institution.

Located on the corner of rue du Faubourg Montmartre and rue de Richer, the historic boutique and its listed shop window are well worth a visit.

Everything here is reminiscent of the Belle Epoque


The interior of A la Mere de Famille is reminiscent of the Belle Epoque era from the antique tiles, countertops with patinated wooden counter and metal chandeliers.

The inside is a paradise for those with a sweet tooth.


The sweets selection is a paradise for those with a sweet tooth. At A la Mere Famille there are old-style sweet jars filled with  nougats, bergamots, caramels, pralines and marshmallow squares.  Be sure to try the homemade iced chestnuts, considered to be the best in Paris.

Nougats, bergamots, caramels, pralines and marshmallow squares.


The orange-labeled gift boxes of candy and chocolates are always a pleasure as are the treats of times gone by.  Take a step back in time as you sample caramel roudoudous eaten out of the shell, marshmallow ropes and pretty violets.
