These French Chocolate Bars Have the Best Illustrated Labels

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love choco­late. LOVE. I can’t seem to turn down sweets, espe­cial­ly in the form of a cup­cake or bar. So, when I found a choco­late brand that fea­tured awe­some illus­tra­tions on their pack­ag­ing, it was the best of both worlds.

Le choco­lat des Français is a French brand that’s made tra­di­tion­al­ly in a small vil­lage in Ile-de-France, near Paris. Paul-Hen­ri Mas­son art direct­ed these labels, and he employs the tal­ents of many, many illus­tra­tors (see list below). I love the range here. You’ve got bold, col­or­ful labels mixed with fine pen draw­ings. The sub­ject mat­ter varies, but the thread that ties every­thing togeth­er is the sense of playfulness.
