Maison Chou was born out of a desire to bring back a sense of wonder to pastry — to revive the simple, striking beauty of a perfectly crafted cream puff.

Raised in Paris, the founder grew up in a family where food was more than sustenance — it was a craft. His father, a chef and owner of La Petite Folie in Neuilly-sur-Seine, taught him the fundamentals of pâtisserie from a young age. It was in those early moments — folding batter, tasting creams, observing the rhythm of a professional kitchen — that a quiet passion began to take root.

The idea for Maison Chou came years later, when a friend was searching for a croquembouche that would be made-to-order, tailored to her wedding, and delivered fresh on the big day. No one could meet the standard, so he offered to make it himself. The success of that first tower sparked the beginning of something much greater: a house dedicated to choux, in all its forms.

At Maison Chou, we handcraft each piece with care using organic and meticulously sourced ingredients. No extracts. No flavorings. Only real, seasonal elements, treated with respect and transformed with savoir-faire. Inspired by the great names of French pastry like Pierre Hermé or Ladurée, we aim to bring the same standards of excellence to New Orleans.

From towering croquembouches to delicate cream puffs — sweet or savory — everything we make is custom, fresh, and unforgettable. We also offer private classes, champagne & choux tastings, and other experiences designed to celebrate the French art de vivre and art de la table.

Maison Chou is where simplicity becomes luxurious. Where elegance feels effortless. And where every bite is made to impress — quietly, but unmistakably.
