The company has 350 shops in Belgium and nearly 1,250 stores in almost 50 countries, including 340 in France, which makes it one of the most productive and iconic chocolate brands in the world. Nowadays it can be found in Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Holland, at Harrods, London and even Athens. The company was named after its founder. More specifically, the name and the design of the symbol originate from the marble statue in the Sparta Museum, called Leonidas, depicting Greek hero, the King of Sparta. The tone of the physical appearance of the boxed chocolate has been described as No nonsense packaging with a daunting logo. The symbol serves as evidence that indeed Spartan myth is a key element in European and Western culture traditions. Address: 99 Grand Rue, L-2015, Luxembourg Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 3 -

Sight description based on wikipedia D) La Chocolaterie - Comptoir des fèves La Chocolaterie - Comptoir des fèves is considered to be one of the classiest chocolate shops in the heart of Luxembourg city. Everything here, from the interior to chocolate itself, demonstrates pure taste and elegance. The warm light, bright décor and glass stalls create a truly unique atmosphere and result in a special mood inviting to taste the delicacies sampled here. The prices are a little higher than average, but in the opinion of regular customers it is definitely worth it.

At Namur they pay special attention to details and particularly the ingredients they put into their products: Sicilian almonds, Senga Sengana strawberry, Turin chestnuts, hazelnuts from Piedmont, oranges from Spain, etc. Most of the chocolates they market are made using traditional recipes, this is why, perhaps, Namur is so popular with true connoisseurs of the flavour.
