The story began in 1877. The Witness family is located in the heart of Caen. Master chocolate makers from generation to generation, Witnesses passed the torch in 2007 to Étienne Dolfi (famous for its confectionery establishments at the Mother of Family). However, the original sign has been preserved as well as the specialties of the house: The Toucan (hazelnut pralines with cocoa curved nougatine), True Normands (with calvados), Ladies of Caen (orange paste with orange-flavoured grapes) and of course Caen Bisous (pink chocolate in the form of a mouth, white chocolate foam also flavoured with calvados). Yes, we are well in Normandy and the flagship alcohol of the department is to honour, but rest assured here, it complements and does not overwhelm! And when the winter season arrives, you’ll have the opportunity to buy their delicious frozen marestas, certainly they are not cheap, but considering the quality and the short production time of this delicacy, it would be a sacrilege to miss out on it!

Une femme s’affaire derrière les chocolats.
Je dis que je souhaite des marrons glacés.
Il a fallu le demander plusieurs fois pour qu’elle daigne me répondre et surtout se déplacer.
Ensuite cette dame m’offre gentiment deux bonbons chocolatés ( des papillotes )
Des chocolats « à déguster » sont juste à côté d’elle, je lui demande si je peux en avoir un.
La tête de cette femme, quelle impudence de ma part !
Elle m’en a offert un mais avec un air, je venais quand même de lâcher 54 euros…
Bref depuis le départ des anciens propriétaires, l’accueil, le service et le commerce, ce n’est plus ça.
Je n’y retournerai plus
