CHOCOLAT WEISS
Go there and contact
Originally from Alsace, Eugène Weiss left his native country during the war of 1870 to settle in Saint-Etienne where he opened his chocolate candy confectionery in 1882 at 8 rue général Foy. Recently repainted in purple, a discreet reminder of the colour of chocolate, with the portrait of the founder at the back of the shop, this shop was awarded a prize in the 2011 commerce design competition. In 1912, he invented the famous chocolate square, to be served near a café. Chocolate to cook, or to taste, in bars or already prepared, to offer or to indulge oneself: chocolate cat tongues, cream sticks, palets, chocolate discs, nougastelles, nougamadines or orangettes. This world-famous chocolate factory has opened its chocolate museum next to its factory at Pont de l'Âne, near the Géant Casino Monthieu. In summer, don't miss the chance to taste the ice creams made mainly with chocolate of course, dark or white, but also with vanilla or strawberry, or even sesame praline...
