The best chocolatiers Yonne

Also present in Sens, Olivier Vidal, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, offers us here something to delight our taste buds. We can enjoy chocolates with orange or lemon peel. We appreciate the almond/hazelnut shortbread. We would die for the caramel coulis and the different spreads. And what can we say about the excellent pastries whose extreme finesse and great creativity have no equivalent in Auxerre, without forgetting the very tasty home-made ice creams. In summer, outside the store, the queue can be long to get one!

This house is an institution. You'll find wonderful creations like Pavé Morvandiau, Quarréen and Saint Amour. But also spreads. The waffles, too, are a delight every Sunday and public holiday, as well as in the afternoons in high season. A great address, as delicious as it is unmissable! And an online boutique that we also recommend you discover. What's more, Quarré de Chocolat recently opened a corner in Auxerre, in the gallery of the E. Leclerc center.

Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Olivier Vidal offers his delights near the cathedral. The store features all the chocolatier's specialities, already present in Auxerre (opposite the Cadet Roussel statue). You'll love the chocolate, of course, but you'll also love the praline brioches, macaroons and spreads. And let's not forget the absolutely delicious ice creams. Or the pastries, always of the finest quality. A true paradise for the most demanding gourmets! An excellent address.

Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Pascal Caffet, from Troy, has about fifteen shops in France and around the world, as far away as Tokyo and Milan. In Burgundy, apart from Nevers, it is in Sens that he has chosen to settle, near the covered market. Here, the specialty is praline! You can find it in the chocolates of course, but also in the pastry creations that make your mouth water at first sight: Manakara, Syracuse, Moscow and Montreal in particular for the iced desserts... We love it! And know that you can also order on the website.

Here, we succumb to the freshness and finesse of the chocolate creations; we love the house specialities such as the "Rochers de Sens" (small caramelized almonds in chocolate), and the "Brennus". A tribute to the famous Gallic people of the Senons who took Rome in 329 B.C., but above all a fantastic hazelnut praline puff pastry. Breads and pastries are at the top too, as are the various pastries. There is no doubt about it, the quality is there, and has been for many years already. Because the Gaufillier Bakery is an institution in Sens.

For many years now, Francis Patrat has been delighting his customers with his sweet treats: very gourmet pastries, fine and tasty chocolates, and artisanal ice creams on the menu of this pretty pastry-chocolate shop located in the Grande Rue of Sens, a few steps from the banks of the Yonne. Also noteworthy: a catering service for your receptions with friends or family, and an online store that allows you to order, even from a distance. A beautiful address.

Near the statue of Vauban, here is an address that the greediest Avalonians know very well! For more than fifteen years, the Master Chocolatier Xavier Boucher has been offering his subtle chocolate and pastry creations, and his great specialities: the "Délices de Vauban" (pralines wrapped in sugar and fruit), the "Nougeottes" (caramelised roasted hazelnuts coated with chocolate) or the famous Burgundy snails... We also love the cookies, florentines and other shortbread. A real treat for our taste buds!

Sébastien Métoyer, a multi-award-winning artisan chocolatier who likes to play with textures and flavors to create surprisingly creative organic chocolate, awaits you at the Moulin Rouge estate, in a wild but well-tended natural setting, around two ponds and a canal running through the property. Like the nuggets of young ginger shoots or the pebbles with Burgundy marc, for example. Introductory tasting workshops are also available, as are two gites.
