Published April 8th, 2020 - 06:49 GMT

The French and chocolate is a love story. Of good or not-so-good quality, chocolate is a favorite sweet delicacy savored when comes to Easter.

From the local chocolates to the immense hypermarchés, Easter Chocolate usually can be found everywhere. 

The tradition of chocolate eggs at Easter is a long one in France. Chocolate hens, rabbits, eggs and bell shapes are the most popular. 

By now,  most of the chocolate shops are closed. But you can still get your hands on a prized Easter Bunny. Shop owners can continue selling Easter eggs during the coronavirus pandemic.
