1936 – Family-owned chocolate-makers for four generations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jean and Louise Guion and their two children left their homeland of Italy for Belgium in the 1920s. Jean found work in the quarries at Quenast. Then a little guesthouse close to the quarry came on the market. So this business-minded couple decided to run the guesthouse, which they did until Jean listened to his heart and went to lean the trade he had always wanted at the Godelaine chocolate factory. A few years later, the Guions opened their chocolate workshop\/store in Avenue du Pesage, in Brussels. In 1936, they moved to Rue du Bailly and Art de Praslin was born. To stand out from their rivals, Jean and Louise put their inventiveness to good use by working together to create pralines with new flavours, such as Bouchon, Tosca, D\u00e9lice and many more. These creations still adorn the shelves in Art de Praslin stores.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
