DURAND CHOCOLATIER
Read moreSince 1987, Durand Chocolatier has been making numbered chocolates with unchanging recipes that are secretly kept. In its Empire style attire and cocoa decor, the shop is not lacking in style! The first thing you'll notice is the 41 little squares placed behind the counter. All of them compete in quality and finesse, such as the "Compagnie des Indes" (n° 35) whose woody spice alliance is striking. The n° 36, with seaweed, is the most oceanic of all. We also discover the famous cake inspired by the Breton poisoner Hélène Jégado.
YVAN CHEVALIER
Read moreAfter working in the Nantes region for more than ten years, Yvan Chevalier, Meilleur Ouvrier de France chocolatier-confiseur since 2019, set up shop in the Breton capital in 2021. A return to his roots for the artisan, and yet another opportunity for us to come and taste his creations. The chocolate boxes offer a palette of old-fashioned pralines and subtle ganaches. It's also easy to fall for the chocolate-covered Madagascar vanilla marshmallow bears. We finish with a divinely balanced pastry. We're particularly fond of the signature chou, which changes with the seasons: light, low in sugar and very gourmet. Discover it on site or order online!
