The best chocolatiers Avignon

If there were a chocolate street in Avignon, this is it, and we'd name it after Aline Géhant, who opened her boutique here in 2009. An artisan chocolatier of excellence, she is unanimously acclaimed by her discerning clientele. Purists can indulge their sweet tooth with the classic ranges: dark chocolate palets, hazelnut or crunchy pralines, plain dark or milk ganaches, and the Noir de Provence combining cocoa from Grenada and Ghana. The curious can choose from a range of creations, including star anise, honey, thyme and lavender chocolates.

The Roelandts family has been at the helm of this fine Aix-based brand for some fifty years. The reputation of the chocolate factory has spread beyond the borders of France. With over twenty sales outlets in France, Puyricard is committed to a policy of total quality: exceptional cocoa beans, no preservatives, real butter, no sterilized cream, Tahitian vanilla... The production workshops are located in Puyricard, near Aix. The choice is overwhelming! Try iced mochi, the refreshing new product for summer 2023.

Papaline, listed as a national heritage of French chocolate specialities, hides under its pink thistle-like robe a liquorous heart of oregano, a blend of about sixty plants, some of which are picked in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. The origins of this cheese date back to 1835 and it was the master pastry chefs of the Vaucluse who brought it back to life in 1960. The recipe is unchanged and is only distributed in the Vaucluse via the association "Les Pâtissiers des Papalines".
