Le Figaro tested and ranked chocolate éclairs made by the best pastry chefs in Paris.
With more than 200 million sales per year, chocolate éclairs are the favorite pastry of the French. The food industry takes the largest share of the cake, but Le Figaro wanted to highlight these artisans through this blind test.
