Léonie Corentin

Out of love and passion for craftsmanship

At Léonie Corentin, nothing is left to chance when it comes to creating a praline from the finest chocolate. The chocolatiers have been able to make a long and exclusive journey through the most renowned houses in France and have found their very own language in the world of chocolate and patisserie. Since 2011, Corentin and Leonie have been living out their love together and are constantly developing themselves and their pralines as life partners, business partners and with a shared vision.

Leonie

The journey began when Léonie realized her dream in 2011 and went to Paris to train as a pastry chef. Over the years, she delved deeper into the world of sweet creations, making a detour to Phillipe Conticcini and his Patissier des Reves and then going to London in 2013-2014 to work in a restaurant. She deepened her skills and dedication as a chocolatier from 2014 with chocolatier Patrick Roger and from 2016 to 2020 with Christophe Michalak in Paris. In 2020, she opened the Chocolaterie Léonie Corentin in the heart of Hamburg with her partner and business partner Corentin.

Corentin

Born in France and raised in Toulon, Corentin has been striving for a craft as a chocolatier since his youth. With his training in 2008 and his first years as a pastry chef in Lyon, the foundation for his dream was laid. From 2011 onwards, Corentin spent time in Paris and worked as a chocolatier for Patrick Roger until he took over as head chocolatier in 2014. From 2016 onwards, he worked as head chocolatier and head of the team for the French master pastry chef Christophe Michalak. The desire to have his own chocolate shop and to get to know his partner's German culture brought him to Hamburg with great joy in 2020, where they both opened the Chocolaterie Léonie Corentin in the heart of Hamburg.

From France to Hamburg

Love begins in Paris

It all began in Paris in 2011 when I, Léonie, started my apprenticeship in Paris. My love for the city and the chocolate shop then took off. Fascinating names and positions with Phillipe Conticcini and the Patissier des Reves, Patrick Roger one of the most famous chocolatiers and Christophe Michalak. After that I couldn't stop and had to let my creativity run free: Léonie Corentin, the chocolate shop in Hamburg was born.

Paris, London and Hamburg

Learned from the best chocolatiers in Paris and now one of the first chocolatiers in Hamburg. We impress with over 8 years of experience in Paris and 1 year in London. Starting with Patrick Roger, one of the most famous chocolatiers in France, through to Christophe Michalak.

We have been in Hamburg since the end of 2020.

We have made our dream of having our own chocolate shop in Hamburg come true. The modern and open chocolate shop in the store encourages open communication with our customers. A look behind the scenes and at the craft shows how important transparency and honesty are to us.
