In the heart of Chartreuse, the greedy and love of traditional products leads us to Notre-Dame-de-Chalais. It was here in 1962 that the Dominican monials created a biscuitery to support the community. On Wednesday, it is "oven day" with each time 420 kg of biscuits. Cookies packed the rest of the week, then sold on the spot at the Monastery of the Monastery or ship throughout France. With their know-how, the sisters make and market Chalais biscuits, which, like Proust's famous Madeleine, evoke the flavors of our childhood. Natures, without eggs, without preservatives and colorants, they are perfectly digestive and perfumed with the coconut pulp, honey flower, vanilla, orange or anis. Among all these delicacies is the Round 'gold, small pure butter butter with grapes with a fine flavor of rum… That sins to make us forgive! Rajout that the ride is absolutely magnificent and the buildings grandiose.
