Outside the demonstration room at Choco-Story, a diploma showed that Eddy Van Belle (the museum's founder) was a member of the Confrerie des Chocolatiers de France.

Hot chocolate at Choco-Story Paris

As we left the museum, we couldn't resist buying a cup of hot chocolate in the well-equipped gift shop and bookstore. (We chose dark chocolate, which was given to us as a block on a large toothpick for dipping and dissolving in a cup of hot milk.)
