what are the names and locations of three or four chocolatiers to die for in paris?

One of my favorites is Debauve and Gallais on rue St. Pere in St. Germain. Love their Les Incroyables!

This topic has been discussed a lot of times already. Did you do a search yet?
If not, here's a pretty long thread about the best and most well known chocolatiers:

As for each others preferences, I'd say that's pretty personal and one cannot argue that much about it.
I for myself love Jean-Paul Hévin.

I like Josephine Vannier on a small street off the Place des Vosges ( rue de la Pas de la Mule). The chocolates are delicious,with the added pleasue of being made in different and unusual shapes. The last ones I bought were in the shape of artist's easels with the 'colors' in various tints of chocolate. Call first- they have very odd hours.

The hours of Vannier can be found on her web page:

you can combine this on a Sunday with a visit to the open air market at the Bastille stop of the metro-on the Blvd.Richard Lenoir-open until 1ish, followed by lunch and then a visit to Josephine Vannier. A very nice day
