Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse Launches Cacao Pod-Inspired Easter Collection from March 17

Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse and Le Biscuit Alain Ducasse — the Paris-born chocolate and biscuit specialty shops from chef Alain Ducasse — are releasing a 2026 Easter collection starting March 17 (Tuesday). The lineup takes its inspiration from the cacao pod, overlaying its organic form with Easter symbols such as rabbits, chicks, and hens in an artistic, nature-celebrating design.

The striking orange packaging is the work of Aurélien Jenny, an illustrator acclaimed in both Paris and Canada. His color palette, evoking the vitality of a ripening cacao pod, gives the Easter celebration a vivid backdrop.
