"The waterfall is most important! It mixes the chocolate! It makes it light and frothy! No other factory in the world mixes its chocolate by waterfall! But it's the only way to do it properly! The only way!" Willy Wonka.
WELCOME TO JODIE'S BLOG! This blog is for those people who I keep promising to send photos to, for those people I've briefly shared my chocolate travel experiences with and promised more when I get a chance, and for those who are simply interested in the world of chocolate.

A l’Etoile d’Or: Chocolate Store in Paris (Denise Acabo )
On my first visit to Paris, I set out in search of a well known chocolate and confection store, A l’Etoile d’or. To my adventurous delight, this little store was not in the centre of Paris, but further towards the outskirts, not far from the Moulin Rouge. Map in hand, I navigated down a side street, past women of the night, working the day shift, and waved to the old lady on a second floor, leaning out of her window to hang washing over her dilapidated balcony whilst she talked to the pigeons. Then I arrived. A l’Etoile d’or is a find indeed.
