THE CHOCOLATE MUSEUM IN BAYONNE, BASQUE COUNTRY
Located in our chocolate factory, the Chocolate Museum is a great way to mark a stay in Bayonne, a city whose history is closely linked to that of chocolate.
Come and meet the cocoa bean and learn about this tasty and familiar treasure, from the cultivation of the cocoa tree to the production of our delicacies. All this is enhanced by videos, an exhibition of old machines and an educational film.
You will also be able to observe our chocolate makers at work in our "lab", separated from you by a glass wall. The melted chocolate beckons you to taste it, the ganache tenderly yielding under the cut... these scenes are worth all the speeches to inspire vocations.
Members' reviews on L'ATELIER DU CHOCOLAT
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Un musée assez petit, mais vraiment bien fait, l'ambiance, le fond sonore et les lumieres sont super, on peut apprendre pleins de choses et voir le labo en direct. Il a de vieilles machines exposées.
Le film diffusé est un peu compliqué pour les enfants (sous titré et l'ambiance fait un peu peur).
Les toilettes mériteraient d'être refait.
Pour la dégustation en fin de visite, il serait bien de proposer aux gens de s'assoir, surtout si on est très peu (c'était le cas). Car certaines personnes on ce besoin suivant leur santé.
Autrement c'était un super moment, autant pour nous (morceaux de chocolat bien choisi, bien décrit, merci beaucoup à la jeune animatrice, qui était là depuis seulement 3 jours, c'était parfait ????) que pour les petits (animation de peinture sur chocolat très sympa).
La boutique est très sympa il y a vraiment de tout.
Comptez 1h30 pour le tout.
Merci encore à toute l'équipe !
