　　Debauve & Gallais, is a French chocolate manufacturer founded by Sulpice Debauve in 1800. After his nephew Antoine Gallais joined the company in 1823, the company adopted their current name. In 1819 the company received the royal warrant as purveyors to the French court, and was the official chocolate supplier of kings Louis XVIII, Charles X and Louis Philippe.

　　History

　　Sulpice Debauve (1757–1836), former chemist to French king Louis XVI, devised "the novel combination of cocoa, cane sugar, and medicine after Marie Antoinette complained to him about the unpleasant taste of the medicines she had to take."The queen was so pleased that she named those exquisite coin-shaped chocolates “Pistoles”. Debauve continued to create a variety of flavored Pistoles for the queen. Finally in 1800, Debauve opened his first chocolate shop on the left bank of Paris, at 4 Faubourg Saint-Germain.

　　In 1816, Debauve was appointed as the sole chocolate supplier to the French royal families. In 1819, Napoleon’s official architects Percier and Fontaine designed the new shop,which is now classified as a historical monument, located at 30 Rue des Saints-Pères. In 1823, Debauve took in his nephew Auguste Gallais, also a chemist, as an associate in order to create and distribute his dietary chocolates, – known then as "healthy chocolates" – made with almond milk, vanilla and orange blossom water. Gallais published four years later his Monographie du Cacao which offered a scientific approach to cocoa.

　　Nowadays

　　Debauve & Gallais claims to be one of the few former royal suppliers in France who remain their independence, family owned and operated till today. In 1989, Madame Paule Cuvelier took over Debauve & Gallais establishment.

　　8、Leonidas 列奥尼达斯;

　　Leonidas(列奥尼达斯)是比利时三大巧克力品牌之一，创始于1913年。目前，LEONIDAS(列奥尼达斯)巧克力，目前全世界已拥有2000多家专卖店，分布在布鲁塞尔、巴黎、伦敦、纽约、华盛顿、悉尼、东京、香港、新加坡、台北、上海、北京、广州、深圳、武汉、南京(水游城)等各大都市，而每一家店的巧克力均产自布鲁塞尔的大工厂，LEONIDAS(列奥尼达斯)最主要的特点就是它的新鲜度和不含防腐剂，绝对100%手工制造。这也使得其产品的保质期只有短短的30-90天，因此全球所有的LEONIDAS(列奥尼达斯)代理商都必须每14天从布鲁塞尔空运进口新鲜巧克力，配上精美的包装，绝对满足顾客高档品位追求。

　　Leonidas is a Belgian chocolate company that produces chocolate and other related products. The company was started in 1913 by Greek-Cypriot American confectioner Leonidas Kestelides in Ghent although he first began producing his chocolate in the U.S. Even so, according to author and editor Mort Rosenblum, Leonidas chocolate is “real Belgian chocolate, fairly priced, and plenty of people like it.” Its maintenance has been passed down through Leonidas Kestelides’ descendants over the years. Leonidas has 350 shops in Belgium and nearly 1,250 stores in around 50 countries including 340 in France. Leonidas has become one of the highest producing, widespread chocolate companies in the world.

　　Name and Symbol

　　In 1937, Basilio officially protects his product with the brand and logo of Leonidas. The company was named after its founder. More specifically, the name and design of the symbol originate from the marble statue in the Sparta Museum entitled Leonidas, in which the Greek hero-king of Sparta is depicted. The tone of the physical appearance of the boxed chocolate was described as “no nonsense packaging with a daunting logo. The symbol serves as evidence that indeed Spartan myth is a key element in European and Western culture traditions.
