Choco-Story is a museum with a 250 m² fun and educational trail dedicated to the entire cocoa-chocolate industry.
The 17th-century building is superb. The 250 m² fun and educational tour, dedicated to the entire cocoa-chocolate chain, is a masterpiece, appealing to young and old alike. Scenes begin in Aztec times, and lead up to the arrival of chocolate in the courts of Europe in the 16th century, and how it was shaped into praline. Next, a projection followed by an appetizing demonstration of cocoa processing. Superb collection of exceptional and rare objects. Workshops for adults and children are a creative and delicious way to create your own chocolate bar.

LE PASSAGE
Le musée vous emmène dans un voyage cohérent sur l'utilisation et la culture originelles du cacao, et sur la façon dont il s'est répandu à travers le monde. J'ai trouvé incroyablement instructif la manière dont il a été adopté et transformé. J'ai particulièrement aimé découvrir la culture actuelle du cacao et ses différents types.
À la fin de la visite, il y a plusieurs types de chocolats que vous pouvez essayer juste avant la démonstration de la praline.
Le musée, bien qu'il soit parfois interactif, est très informatif et s'adresse à un public plus mûr. Je dirais que ce n'est pas le meilleur endroit pour emmener de jeunes enfants. En revanche, le musée de la frite situé de l'autre côté de la rue est beaucoup plus accueillant pour les enfants et très interactif.
Pour l'anecdote, certains magasins autour de ce musée proposent des pralines et des chocolats à des prix moins élevés que d'autres magasins du centre-ville.
