Cité du Chocolat Valrhona

Fodor's choice
One of the word's best gourmet chocolate makers, this is Valrhona's world headquarters. The museum's interactive exhibits for adults and kids immerse visitors in every step of the chocolate-making process, from beans to bars—with all the free samples you can eat. The on-site café uses chocolate in all of its dishes, both savory and sweet, and you can participate in a chocolate-making workshop (see more information online). After your visit stock up on the entire range of products at gentle prices at the boutique.
