An artist can express himself in many ways. Ghyslain Maurais uses chocolate. Add to that an unparalleled use of vibrant hand brushed color that evokes all the senses and a rich mélange of tastes created from only the finest ingredients; smooth ganache fillings, fresh fruit purees, nuts, essences of fine extracts and you have gourmet chocolate that is uniquely Ghyslain. When you take time to stop and taste the chocolate, life is good.

In addition to chocolate, Ghyslain Chocolatier also offers its customers a variety of French pastries, freshly baked artisan bread and breakfast pastries, specialty cakes, wedding cakes, full service catering, and bistros at its Richmond and Zionsville locations.

History

Established in 1998.

In 1998, Ghyslain Chocolatier first opened its doors to Union City, which sits on the Indiana/​Ohio border. Since then, connoisseurs of fine gourmet chocolate have visited the company’s production center to enjoy tours and shopping in the chocolate boutique. In 2003 Ghyslain expended his offering by adding intricate individual French pastry.

In May 2008, Ghyslain expanded with the opening of a new location in Richmond, Indiana (416 N 10th St, 765.966.3344). The full service bistro serves lunch and dinner. Patrons can enjoy shopping in the boutique, which features pastries, homemade gelato, and a wide assortment of Ghyslain’s gourmet chocolates. Then in June 2009 a third location opened in Zionsville, Indiana in Nancy Noël art gallery; The Sanctuary (75 N Main St, 317.733.9160). It is a superb venue location for a wedding, shower, or private party.
