Tonnerre's former town hall, an old Renaissance building housing a store and laboratory.
Formerly the town hall of Tonnerre, this old Renaissance building was bought in part by confectioner Louis Egendorfer in 1862. The craftsman produced his specialties here: barley sugars, marrons glacés... Until 1904, when he sold his business to the Thévenin family. A good idea, as the chocolatier soon became an institution whose reputation spread far beyond the region. General de Gaulle was one of its most prestigious customers. Closed in 1978, the Thévenin chocolate factory (listed as a Historic Monument) was initially bought by the town. In 2023, it will be handed over to the Tous au Château company. It's up to the company to revive these premises, which are part of the local heritage. Since then? The storefront, store and laboratory have been restored to their early 20th-century appearance, and over 350 objects from the period have been relocated. A moving museum where nostalgia and poetry triumph.
