Leonidas - Romaka S脿rl et Cie Secs, Luxembourg
Leonidas is a Belgian chocolate company named after its founder, Leonidas Kestekides. More specifically, the name and the company logo design originate from the marble statue in the Sparta Museum, called Leonidas, depicting Greek hero, the King of Sparta. The tone of the Leonidas boxed chocolate appearance has been described as 鈥淣o nonsense packaging with a daunting logo. The symbol serves as evidence that indeed Spartan myth is a key element in European and Western culture traditions.鈥�
Since the origin of a chocolate revolution in Belgium over 100 years ago with the first Leonidas-made praline, the Kestekides family have transformed their brand into a large, successful business that is currently run by the fourth generation of the family. What was initially a small sash window boutique with pralines displayed on the window sill, today has become a global network of over 1,300 stores in almost 50 countries, including Luxembourg, famed as one of the most productive and iconic chocolate names in history.
A Patented Supplier to the Court of His Majesty King Philippe of Belgium since November 15, 2013, Leonidas continue to make their pralines with respect to the values outlined by their founder: freshness, quality, choice and accessibility. While the Leonidas range has expanded substantially over a century with many more delicious creations, the one thing that has not changed is that Leonidas pralines are still accessible to everyone.

Luxembourg Introduction Walking Tour
The capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is known as Luxembourg City. The Romans had built small forts here that guarded two roads that passed through. But it was Count Seigfried in 963 who began the town by building a castle on the Bock promontory. A small church followed on the site of present day St. Michael鈥檚 Church. Soon a community sprang up along the Roman road.
