The aroma of one of Alain Ducasse’s hot chocolates!
Give in to the temptation of one of Alain Ducasse’s signature hot chocolate on the Patio of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo.
From 3 December, the warm, comforting smell of roasted cocoa beans will lead you straight to the Patio Monte-Carlo for our famous hot chocolate – a must during any shopping spree or hunt for Father Christmas! Any excuse to enjoy Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse’s expertly crafted creations is a good one: and this Christmas, he has created the dreamiest hot chocolate ever – a mouth-watering blend of childhood memories and classic flavours only to be tasted at Le Bar à Chocolat.
You can find it served all day long in the equally sumptuous surroundings of the historic Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo.
