Menier Chocolate company - in 1830 the Menier Chocolate company factory in Noisiel was the first mechanized mass production factory for cocoa powder in France and the largest chocolate manufacturer in France. The February 1997 issue of the Architectural Review called the 1872 iron and brick chocolate factory at Noisiel, nowadays an official Monument historique and is on the list to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, "one of the iconic buildings of the Industrial Revolution".
Little girl - in 1893 the company began using advertising posters created by Firmin Bouisset featuring a little girl using a piece of chocolate to write the name Chocolat Menier on a wall or window. Highly successful and it became an internationally recognized symbol. Firmin Bouisset's image of the little girl would be featured on Menier's packaged products. Original Menier posters and assorted products as well as reproductions are still much in demand today.
Newspaper kiosques - to raise their profile and sell more product, on sidewalks in towns and cities all over France, the company set up "chocolate kiosques". Their hexagon shape and peaked roof became the standard for newspaper kiosks still seen today.

Since 2012, Patrice Chapon produces his own chocolate in the "Atelier de Torrefaction". After several years of research and meticulous restoration of the Torréfacteur, the Cacaotarare and La Conche machines to transform the cocoa beans into very high quality chocolate he was ready for a modern production, with old tools, with complete control of the manufacturing process of creating his own unique chocolate.
