When an exotic stranger, Vianne Rocher, arrives in the French village of Lansquenet and opens a chocolate boutique directly opposite the church, Father Reynaud identifies her as a serious danger to his flock - especially as it is the beginning of Lent, the traditional season of self-denial. War is declared as the priest denounces the newcomer's wares as the ultimate sin. Suddenly Vianne's shop-cum-café means that there is somewhere for secrets to be whispered, grievances to be aired, dreams to be tested. But Vianne's plans for an Easter Chocolate Festival divide the whole community in a conflict that escalates into a Church not Chocolate battle. As mouths water in anticipation, can the solemnity of the Church compare with the pagan passion of a chocolate éclair? For the first time here is a novel in which chocolate enjoys its true importance? Rich, clever and mischievous, Chocolat is a literacy feast for all the senses.

They express her concepts of life and death, of love and nature, and of what Henry James called "the landscape of the soul."

Le village des animaux est sous la neige. Un vieux loup famélique apparaît, un sac sur l'épaule. Il entre chez la poule, pour faire une "soupe au caillou" avec de l'eau chaude et un gros caillou.

Ils mangent, et le loup s'en va, son sac sur l'épaule.
