CORNÏ¿½ PORT-ROYAL CHOCOLATIER

In 1932, the young pâtissier Maurice Corné decided to go into business as a chocolatier, setting up shop in Brussels’ Rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères. It was an inspired move, which met with immediate success. His business took off and very soon he had a 30-strong team working for him, counting among his loyal customers some of the great celebrities of the day. Maurice Chevalier never missed an opportunity to indulge at “Mr Corné’s place” when passing through Brussels.
