ABOUT US

40 YEARS AGO, ROBERT LINXE IMAGINED La Maison du Chocolat as the first big Parisian house of chocolate creation, like a haute couture house. He invented a style, imposed his difference and gave birth to the luxury chocolate of today, which many creators were inspired by later. To enter Maison du Chocolat is to enter a world of iconic codes reflecting a timeless and elusive Parisian chic, a je ne sais quoi that seduces the rest of the world with French evidence. Beyond taste, the emotion of beauty surrounds chocolate with ideal elegance. INTACT, ROBERT LINXE'S UNIQUE SPIRIT lives on after him, brilliantly interpreted by a Creative Chef who combines his personal talent with founding chocolate, in a pursuit of excellence combining ultimate simplicity and complex know-how. Monday to Friday.

Saint Michael's Church is one of the oldest churches in Vienna, Austria, and also one of its few remaining Romanesque buildings. Dedicated to the Archangel Michael, St. Michael's Church is located at Michaelerplatz across from St. Michael's Gate at the Hofburg Palace. Over its long history, spanning more than eight centuries, the church has incorporated a medley of architectonic styles. The church is a late Romanesque, early Gothic building dating from about 1220–1240. There is a document giving 1221 as the foundation date of the church, but this is most probably a 14th-century forgery. Over time, there have been many alterations, resulting in its present-day aspect, unchanged since 1792. You can find celebrations and events all year round. Check the one that interests you the most.

The fountain was initially erected at the intersection of three roads (tre vie), marking the end point of Acqua Vergine, one of the oldest aqueducts that had supplied the city of Rome since the year 19 BC. The monument that we can admire today was planed by Nicola Salvi, and was completed in 1762 by Giuseppe Panini, shortly after the death of the Pope Clement, when Pietro Bracci's Neptune was posted in the central niche of the fountain. It is one of the most emblematic places in Rome. In cinema, the fountain was immortalized by a scene starring Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni in the 1960 film "LA DOLCE VITA", directed by Federico Fellini. The fountain is lit up at night. Get inspired.

Lisbon is a city that is thousands of years old and, therefore, owes its growth and consolidation to the passage of time, as well as to the cultures and legacies of relationships and cultures of the peoples that inhabited it. The connection of Portugal, and Lisbon in particular, to the Catholic Church is, for this reason, also millenary, one of the multiple examples being the Church and Monastery of São Vicente de Fora ("For"a means outside the medieval city walls), which is located in a of Lisbon's historic medieval neighborhoods. The antecedents take us to the year 1582, when the construction of a church began, in the place where the first Portuguese King, D. Afonso Henriques, had a primitive temple built, also under the invocation of São Vicente, Saint who was proclaimed patron of Lisbon in 1173. The construction that has reached the present day began in 1590, by the hand of the architect and engineer Filippo Terzi (1520 - 1597) according to a drawing by the Spanish architect Juan de Herrera (1530 - 1597), and was completed in 1627. Another prominent figure in the work of São Vicente de Fora is the Portuguese architect Baltasar Álvares, who added to the monument an erudite learning of Roman Mannerism, giving it a new impetus through the new architectural style in Portugal that would later serve as a model in following religious constructions. It is considered the great architectural work of the Philippine Dynasty. The church and the monastery have a remarkable artistic filling from the 17th century, the time of D. Pedro II and D. João V, recognized for a period that was rich for the arts. It contains pieces of Baroque tiles with more than 100 thousand tiles from the Baroque period, fables of La Fontaine and some renowned paintings from the 17th century to the end of the 18th century. In the photograph, the facade with a bath of light from the Lisbon sunset. Visits from Tuesday to Sunday. Check schedules and prices.
