Yannick Alléno teams up with the FFF for 2026 World Cup edition tricolored chocolates

For the 2026 World Cup, Yannick Alléno unveils a tricolored chocolate collection in partnership with the French Football Federation, available in his two Paris boutiques (6th and 7th arrondissements) for 15€ for 6 sticks, at the Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet corner for the World Cup edition, and at the FFF boutique on boulevard de Grenelle (15th arrondissement) for the 18-stick box set at 36€. This creation combines gastronomy and sport around a hazelnut praline with a blue, white and red finish. The gift sets will be available from June 12 to August 31, 2026, the time of the world championship.

What chocolates has Yannick Alléno created for the 2026 World Cup?

Chef Yannick Alléno has created a range of tricolored praline sticks, available in two formats: a box of 6 sticks at €15 (50g) and a box of 18 sticks at €36 (150g). Each stick features the colors of the French national team, with a graphic finish designed for sharing.

The heart of the creation is a hazelnut praline, worked with the technical precision that characterizes the house. The texture strikes a balance between the crunchiness of the shell and the mellowness of the praline, without excess sugar.

The stick format meets a concrete need: these chocolates can be eaten during matches, slipped into a bag or shared between fans. In this way, the collection assumes a social as well as a gourmet function.

Why a praline format rather than a ganache?

Hazelnut praliné holds up better at room temperature than a fresh ganache, making it ideal for summer consumption between June and August. What’s more, its aromatic profile appeals to a wide audience, from children to connoisseurs.

“A chocolatey interpretation in the Bleu Blanc Rouge colors, inviting you to fully savor every moment of the competition, carried by the same unifying and vibrant spirit of surpassing oneself.

This logic is in line with the Cuisine Moderne approach championed by the chef since 2008: extract the essential from a product without artifice. Here, praliné works like a concentrated sauce, transposed into a solid format.

Where to buy Yannick Alléno FFF edition chocolates in Paris?

Four points of sale will distribute the collection in Paris from June 12 to August 31, 2026: the two Les Chocolats de Yannick Alléno boutiques in the 6th and 7th arrondissements, the Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet corner, and the Fédération Française de Football boutique at 87 boulevard de Grenelle (15th arrondissement).

• Boutique Chocolats Yannick Alléno – 6th arrondissement
• Boutique Chocolats Yannick Alléno – 7th arrondissement
• Corner Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet
• Boutique FFF – 87 boulevard de Grenelle, 75015 Paris
• Official website of Chocolats de Yannick Alléno

Online sales are also available via the company’s official website. For fans living outside Paris, this is the most convenient channel, with an ordering window limited to summer 2026.

The FFF headquarters on boulevard de Grenelle welcomes visitors to a store recently remodeled around official merchandising. The presence of a multi-starred chef is a notable first.

What’s the right budget for the right occasion?

The 6-stick box, priced at €15, is ideal as a guest gift, or for two people to enjoy together during a match. Its quantity/price ratio remains consistent with the high-end positioning of a chef with 18 Michelin stars.

The 18-stick box at 36€ is ideal for evenings with friends or corporate gifts during the World Cup. Expect to pay around 24€ for 100g, a price in line with the great Parisian houses such as Patrick Roger or Jacques Genin.

Who is Yannick Alléno and why this collaboration with the FFF?

Today, Yannick Alléno is the world’s most starred chef, at the head of a group of 28 establishments and 18 Michelin stars. His signature at the Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris remains the showcase of his art: three restaurants under one roof, including Alléno Paris (3 stars), L’Abysse (2 stars sushi) and Pavyllon (1 star).

The merger with the Fédération Française de Football (French Football Federation) is in line with the logic of a shared heritage. The FFF, a non-profit association under the French law of 1901, federates amateur and professional soccer throughout France.

For the first time, a chef of this level has signed an official FFF collection in a chocolate world. This marks a new porosity between haute gastronomy and mainstream sporting culture.

A Parisian base for the company?

Founded in 2008, the Yannick Alléno Group laid its foundations with Cuisine Moderne, heir to Auguste Escoffier but reinvented through extraction, fermentation and cryoconcentration. In 2014, the takeover of the Pavillon Ledoyen on avenue Dutuit (8th arrondissement) marked a turning point.

The company now operates in Paris, London and Monte Carlo. Pavillon Ledoyen’s Conciergerie de Table offers a service unique in the world, with direct dialogue between customer and chef, by reservation only.

The two chocolate boutiques in Paris extend this identity into retail. They exude the “quaternary” spirit of the group: talent, revisited codes, rethought service and memorable experiences.

How to choose between the two competition boxes?

For tasting alone or as a duo during a match, the 6-stick set at €15 is more than enough. Its compact format makes it easy to take to a friend’s house or fan zone.

The 18-stick box at 36€ is the logical choice for entertaining a group or as a gift for a final event. Its graphic presentation, aligned with the national colors, also makes it a decorative object on a reception table.

Fans of collector’s items should buy early: the collection is strictly limited to the period from June 12 to August 31, 2026. After August 31, residual stocks are not guaranteed, either in Paris boutiques or online.

This collaboration between Yannick Alléno and the French Football Federation illustrates a fundamental trend: haute gastronomy is investing in major popular events without relinquishing its high standards, and with this project the chef confirms his ability to engage in dialogue with a much wider public than that of the three stars.
