This Lorraine-based chocolatier (a Meilleur Ouvrier de France) opened a boutique in Paris in late 2010. Earlier than that, the one place to get his famed Atlantique pill on the town was À l’Etoile d’Or. His macarons and chocolate dipped cookies are distinctive, too.

Critiques of curiosity
David Lebovitz (2011) “I’m hooked on l’Atlantique, an beautiful sq. of darkish chocolate with crispy shortbread and gooey salted caramel layered inside… subsequent time I plan on taking a stroll by means of the Luxembourg Gardens, I do know simply the place to cease for one thing to snack on for my stroll.”
Le Figaro (2010) “Autre set up qui va faire du bruit : celle de Franck Kestener. Ce jeune prodige de la chocolaterie, MOF depuis 2004 et champion du monde de pâtisserie par équipe en 2006, débarque enfin à Paris. Jusque-là, il fallait aller jusqu’à Sarreguemines (Moselle) pour goûter à ses créations.”
Kerrin Rousset (2010) “Among the many nation’s greatest chocolatiers, but he by some means escapes the highlight… my long-time favourite bar, his Atlantique. It’s merely irresistible: darkish chocolate, buttery shortbread and salted caramel.”
