The best chocolatiers Drôme

The Guillet house has more than 50 years! One half-century of shared delicacy and happiness. Guillet remains the chocolate reference of Novels and... well beyond, since the Guillet house is rewarded to Japan for its incomparable chocolates. A right harmony between tradition and innovation allows master craftsman pastry chef Novels to draw his pin from the game in a context of fierce competition. It is that the chocolate it is pleasure but also one crowned market! Guillet declines a sublime collection, the classical ones associating walnut, morello cherry, orange peel, almond with most original in form of ravioli or... of shoes (man or woman!). The house is also famous for its refined macaroons, its verrines and, of course, the wide range of its intervene very smart. The Guillet house also has its shop with Valencia (place of Champ-de-Mars).

The great chefs, pastry chefs and chocolate makers of France and elsewhere swear by Valrhona, the benchmark in chocolate. The house was founded in 1922 and the brand was born in 1947.

You can be sure that these delights are made from chocolate pods from the best plantations in the world. Dare to try them hot or cold, as sweets, with coffee or as an aperitif... We will forgive you all your excesses!

On the Place du Marché in the old town of Montélimar, Maison Dulac boasts a tempting window display and, in summer, a terrace where you can enjoy a cup of tea with a pastry. Pastry chef-chocolatier Jean-Philippe Dulac is an authentic artisan of good taste, trained at the best schools (second pastry chef at Pic and pastry chef at Valrhona's École du grand chocolat), who makes us melt with pleasure. If Dulac is known for the variety and flavors of his macaroons and his divine artisanal summer ice creams, his chocolates are equally renowned. And the pleasure can be doubled, as a second boutique has opened at 140 avenue Jean-Jaurès.

The Morin family has been in the chocolate business since 1884. But the history of the family business has been built up over the generations through several revolutions.
