To cater for customers eager for such quality she decided the business should be based in Rue Royale, right in the centre of Belgium’s capital. The symbolic location was established on an aptly named main highway connecting the King’s Palace in Laeken to the one in Brussels.

Mary’s key concern may be with the quality of the raw materials and the chocolates produced but her extraordinary refinement is still reflected in the way her products are presented, from the chocolate boxes to the window displays.

Her highly sophisticated, hand-crafted chocolate boxes are real treasures, often covered with plain silk or painted, available in all shapes and sizes. Owing to their elegance, the boxes are often kept by customers even when the very last chocolate has been eaten.
