Godiva was founded in 1926 in Belgium by the Draps family who opened their first shop in the Grand Place in Brussels under its present name, in honour of the legend of Lady Godiva. The first shop outside Belgium was opened in Paris on the Rue Saint Honoré in 1958. Since those humble beginnings, Godiva has risen to become the official chocolatier to the Belgian Royal Court, gaining a reputation for mastery across the globe. Now, we invite each and every one of you to experience the legend for yourself.
