Paris
"La Belle Envolée" of Easter


« La Belle Envolée » of Cheval Blanc Paris
03 mars 2026For Easter, Maxime Frédéric, pastry chef at Cheval Blanc Paris, and his team present « La Belle Envolée », an all-chocolate airship inspired by the daring voyages of the Belle Époque.
The balloon, crafted like an Easter egg, conceals an almond and roasted vanilla praline, rich and enveloping, while its arabesques echo the motifs of Art Nouveau. The passionflower adorning the gondola recalls the hotel’s Art Deco façade, a subtle fusion of art and engineering.
The wicker gondola, containing a Tahiti vanilla caramel and an almond-roasted vanilla praline biscuit, comes to life with a delicate mechanism suggesting the movement of the propellers, suspending the egg with lightness and poetry.
« La Belle Envolée » is a symphony of textures and flavours, celebrating the ingenuity of early aviation pioneers and the craftsmanship of Cheval Blanc Paris, for a gourmet journey combining imagination and elegance.
