The best chocolatiers Lyon 69000

Let's go to the Croix-Rousse to delight the whole family with Chocolats d'Abi et Lisa, a charming boutique run by Stéphan, who always welcomes us with a smile to offer us chocolates made by Céline Boucher in her Corbas chocolate factory. Sweets for every occasion: chocolate bonbons in original flavors, delicious bars for every taste, palm-oil-free spreads for snacks, ballotins and gift boxes. Online sales and click & collect. Bonheur gourmands.

Pralus is a favourite with the greedy. Let's be fair and let's give Pralus back its Loire origin and the excellence of its know-how in terms of praline brioche, pastries and chocolate. One of the last to work directly with cocoa beans to obtain great vintages presented with care in wooden cases. Success guaranteed in a gourmet city where people rush to savour the Praluline as well as to offer chocolates with a unique taste, sold with a smile and in the right way.

Voisin is quite simply the first French artisanal chocolate factory founded in 1897, a true Living Heritage Company. The fourth generation of artisan chocolate makers perpetuates the best of the tradition, from the bean to the bar. The house's must-haveis the Coussin de Lyon, a delicious delicacy of incredible finesse. In the many shops in town: Sarment du Beaujolais, Quenelle de Lyon, candied oranges and many other specialities such as Palets. Neighbour: one of the big names in Lyon.

The Bernachon family, represented by the excellent Philippe Bernachon, has been spreading the word about chocolate in Lyon for over 70 years, perpetuating the tradition of chocolate-making from A to Z, from cocoa bean to bar. In a recently refurbished boutique, complete with cocoa bean world map, gourmets can feast their eyes on exceptional chocolates, such as the mythical Palet d'or, with crème fraîche and dark chocolate enriched with gold leaf, a mouthful of pure happiness, or the unmissable Président, a signature cake. The most cocoa-loving of addresses.

Pleasure... this is a word that we love and love more when it refers to sweetness! The Vaise district is home to some really great addresses, including this Plaisir Sucré run by master craftsman F. Breniaux. In a charmingly decorated setting, he offers us, from the outside, quality sandwiches (homemade with homemade bread), but above all sweets that make us happy: homemade ice cream made with local fruit, sweet and savoury macaroons, chocolate candies, candied fruit, cakes (including a new one every month) and a whole range of chocolates nicely packaged in gourmet boxes. An address recommended by Le Futé for every day when you want to treat yourself!

Sève has been in the blood of the Lyonnais since... 1905. Richard Sève, one of France's finest chocolatiers, is a member of the respected Relais Desserts association. A firm believer in tradition, one of the few craftsmen to make his own chocolate from bean to bar, Richard Sève is a trendsetter with creations that follow the rhythm of the seasons. Maison Sève is also the sublimation of Lyon specialties such as the red praline tart and the delicious pierres des Monts-d'Or (flaky praline coated with a royal meringue). Musco Chocolate Museum in Limonest.

White Hood is the name of the brand's name and specialty, a subtle ganache perfumed ganache with almond paste. There is a range of thirty-five chocolate tablets with essential oils - barley, basil, ginger… You can see the development of chocolates from the shop through a window that gives on the workshop. The beauty of chocolate bites delight us with the finesse of flavours that delight us. This is happiness in the mouth. You can also crack for homemade iced chestnuts.

This is an address that inaugure a rue de Sèze gourmande. In a wooded shop that smells so good chocolate, you can only crack! It should be said that Patrick Paumier is a pastry chef past the biggest kitchens, including those of the Jardin des Sens in Montpellier. Once the door is crossed, we enter an exotic kingdom where chocolate is king in its most original forms: deliciously with boxes, candies, pacifiers, but still pastries like these Florentine, our gourmand sin, and whole mugs of chocolate foam… fell from happiness!

After Charlie, you too dream of entering a chocolate factory. Sébastien Bouillet perfectly replaces Willy Wonka in his Croix-Rousse boutique dedicated to chocolate, the most tempting in Lyon. A melting decor with a chocolate fountain and a wall of liquid chocolate that makes you want to dive right in. The "chocolathèque" is filled with delicious treats. All the senses are on red alert! And there are plenty of reasons to succumb to temptation: Maca'Lyon, the famous salted butter caramel macaroon coated in chocolate and covered in gold flakes, homemade bars made with cocoa from different origins, chocolate bonbons and other goodies to devour.

Founded in 1917 by Louis Palomas, between Place Bellecour and the quays of the Saône, this company is the guardian of Lyon's chocolate-making tradition. Under the direction of master pastry chef and chocolatier Dominique Clerc, Palomas makes hand-crafted chocolates in its workshops from quality raw materials, from chocolate of course, to fruit from small local producers. House specialties include Palet de Fourvière, crunchy on top (fine meringue) and soft on the inside (Piedmont hazelnut praline), Amandes de Bellecour or the famous Délicia, "the devil's wafer", with 72% cocoa. It's so good to sin by indulgence!

The craftsman Florent Thevenon in Lyon makes in his workshop and sells in his shop many chocolate specialties and other confectionery products.
