An artist may express themselves in many ways. Ghyslain Maurais uses chocolate. Add to that an unparalleled use of vibrant hand brushed color that evokes all the senses and a rich mèlange of tastes created from only the finest ingredients: smooth ganache fillings, fresh fruit purées, nuts and the essence of fine extracts.
Since 1998, connoisseurs of gourmet chocolate have enjoyed an experience that is uniquely Ghyslain. When you take time to stop and taste the chocolate, life is good.
