AN ANECDOTE ABOUT THIS FABLE? 👀

The moral, “Slow and steady wins the race" is placed right at the beginning of the fable, which is quite unusual. La Fontaine presents the lesson even before telling the story, as if giving the reader the key to understanding from the very first line.

The secrets of our dark chocolate Easter eggs 🐣

Our little dark chocolate Easter eggs are crafted with passion and expertise by an artisan chocolatier in Strasbourg. Made from carefully selected cacao beans from Ecuador, these gianduja-filled Easter eggs with crunchy crepe, coated in dark chocolate, are simply irresistible!

Because for us, quality comes first, our dark chocolate Easter eggs are made only with natural ingredients, no palm oil, no preservatives, and, most importantly, 100% pure cocoa butter! They guarantee an authentic taste experience that will make your Easter celebration even more indulgent.

In addition to their irresistible taste and ultra-melt-in-your-mouth texture, our little dark chocolate Easter eggs are presented inside a large metal egg illustrated by artist Ele.Zissou. You’ll witness the race between a lazy hare and a determined tortoise. Ready, set… go! Let the Easter egg hunt begin!

To run is nothing ; we must timely start.
The hare and tortoise here shall teach the art.
“Let’s bet,” the tortoise said, “my clever spark,
Which, you or I, the first shall gain that mark.”

“The first ? what, are you mad ?“ the hare replied
“Take hellebore and purge ; your talk is wide.”
“Well, mad or not, I’ll bet !” the tortoise cried.
The stakes accordingly were paid,
And near the winning-post were laid.

What were the stakes we won’t say in this place,
Nor who it was that judged the race.
The hare had scarce four jumps to make,
Of such as, nearly caught, he’s wont to take ;

Leaving the hounds behind, who then may wait
For the Greek Kalends, roaming until late.
Taking his time, to feast at ease,
And list and sniff whence comes the breeze,

The hare lets now the tortoise go,
Like a grave bishop pacing slow.
And now behold the tortoise gone,
Toiling, hastening slowly on.

The hare the bet but little prized,
And such a victory despised ;
He thought, in his great pride of heart,
’Twas yet too soon for him to start.

So, browsing, resting at his ease,
Oblivious of his bet, he sees
The tortoise the wished goal about to gain,
He sprang like lightning, but he sprang in vain :

The tortoise won just as the hare took flight.
“Well,” she exclaimed, “ good runner, was I right ?
What means your swiftness, yielding thus to me ?
And if you bore your house, what would it be ?”

Les oeufs fourrés sont excellents mais j'ai été déçue car je croyais qu'il y avait aussi de la friture a l'intérieur !
