One of my hobbies is to make chocolate creations for friends and family. And since I travel a lot, I like to pick up new and unique molds to me while I'm visiting new places. I'm heading to Paris soon and thought that it might be a perfect city to find some new chocolate molds to bring home with me. Any ideas where I might look? Thanks!

With acknowledgement to a previous post by Fred I found this and cut and pasted for you. All of these are general kitchenware shopes, most have chocolate molds. Dehillerin has a very good selection and they're very helpful.<BR><BR>A.

Gayle and Wendy: Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll be checking them out on my upcoming trip!

Many antique chocolate molds can still be used... check out the flea market and antique stalls around Porte de Clignancourt or the POrte de Vanves. You'll find unusual ones that aren't made any longer...<BR><BR>PB

What is a chocolate mold?

I don't remember kitchenware of that nature in Laure Japy; to my recollection it carries more decorative pieces and tableware. It's one of my favorite stores in Paris.
