La Meulière, an organic artisan bakery founded in 1994 by Achim Schulzbongert, has always championed "eating well" for better health. An ethic shared by Théo Bouvier, who worked with this master baker for nine years and took over the business in 2022. The charming little store, with its rustic decor and stone millstone in front, is equipped with a mill for preparing organic wholemeal spelt flours and various flakes. Visitors come for the wide range of sourdough breads, viennoiseries, cakes and original snacks.

It was here, in Charolles, that (the late) Bernard Dufoux founded his first chocolate factory, in 1960. Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength. In addition to its tempting boutique, the Charolles address is worth a detour for its production workshop, where chocolatiers and pastry chefs reveal the secrets of their trade to the public, and give classes. The chocolates they make are of the highest quality, using sometimes rare cocoa beans and exceptional hazelnuts and pistachios. Attractive subjects in original shapes are also produced for special events.

The smell of sugar and the sight of bonbonnières filled with pretty colors are a temptation to crime that's hard to resist.

Not far from the imposing prefecture building lies a charming bakery. Here, as much importance is attached to the quality of the raw materials as to that of the finished products. The breads are made from local organic flours and baked in a wood-fired oven dating back to 1860, giving them an inimitable taste. Viennoiseries, pastries and savoury products complete the offer of this traditional bakery. The bakery has won several awards in the best galette des rois competition organized each year by the municipality.

L'Ambroisie, created by Alain Le Bourdoulou in 1997, is a true Chalonnaise institution. Renovated in 2021, the boutique, its façade and the tea room make the moment even more precious. While the macaroons and pastries are exceptional, each season has its own not-to-be-missed rendezvous. The galettes are one of them, so unique are the frangipane and the recipe. Another of L'Ambroisie's talents is its chocolates. An address that sublimates the classics of our gourmet subconscious.

A bakery that, the warm bread, so far nothing exceptional, but when it smells the joy of living and the good mood, it is pure pleasure. The specialties of Eric and Corinne? Wine vigneron (cooked on wood slats) or the bread bread (with spices). On the cake side, there is only here the Henry IV or the Givrotin. Chocolate and maison squares in beautifully decorated windows.

Nicolas Germain's patisserie-chocolaterie is a paradise of sweet, fruit and chocolate specialties. Let yourself be tempted by the boxes of chocolate, the ballotin of Rocher de Solutré with its caramelized almonds coated in dark chocolate, the monk's truffles or the multiple assortments of sweet macaroons.
