MALAKOFF & CIE

This chocolate was created in 1855 by a chocolate maker from Saint-Etienne to pay tribute to the battle of Malakoff during the Crimean War. It is the specialty of Malakoff & Cie, a company based in Banassac-La Canourgue. The production workshop looks like a schoolyard, with plane trees, an L-shaped building and exposed stones, and, in the background, a tea room store where you can discover about thirty different spreads. You can also find tablets of great vintage and gift boxes. Complete your visit with a tour of the factory: about 45 minutes and a tasting!
