Patisserie Namur

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

Many of Luxembourg’s oldest establishments bear the royal mark on the door, indicating that it serves the court. Patisserie Namur is a sixth generation chocolatier open since 1863, and one of the city’s “fournisseurs de la cour” (royal suppliers). A box of chocolates costs something between £6 and £60 here, but the sweet treats are worth the heavy price tag.
