La Chocolaterie is a "Breizhilian" story, which led three passionate Bretons to grow their own cocoa in Brazil, in the state of Bahia, and then process it in Landerneau, in their workshops.

Creamy ganaches and subtle pralines delight gourmets, not forgetting the famous Lunes de Landerneau. Futé: La Manufacture, in St Thonan, invites you to discover the secrets of chocolate making!

Amandes et Caramel is a gourmet adventure that began in 2016 on the markets of Larmor-Baden and Arradon.
