About Lindt

About Lindt CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES
The Lindt CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES chocolate box is THE iconic premium chocolate box for French consumers. Sold exclusively at Christmas, it is synonymous for quality, festivity, elegance and enchantment, brightening up every household’s holiday season. Used mainly for gifting, its appeal comes from the variety of the chocolates inside which makes you certain to please your relatives.
The blue Assorted box is the hero that everyone knows, instantly recognizable through the perspective of the Champs-Elysées avenue and the Arc de Triomphe monument. The range then ventilates in other editions (milk, dark, gold and diamond), changing color and visual but keeping the avenue and Arc untouched as the key element of recognition.
With an ageing consumer audience (mainly 50-year-old and more), Champs-Elysées is now looking for a more modern approach with this new limited edition that will appeal to aged 30-50 consumers.
