The best chocolatiers Bassin d'Arcachon

Les Gourmandises d'Aliénor, located in La Teste-de-Buch, near the Bassin d'Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat, invites you to immerse yourself in the world of chocolate. They produce traditional French fine chocolates with 74% pure cocoa. When you visit their workshop, you'll discover the fascinating history of chocolate, from its discovery by the Conquistadors in 1492 to its cultivation around the tropical belt in America, Africa and Asia. You'll watch chocolatiers work this noble material with passion, while tasting their delicious treats. This is your chance to discover the secrets of chocolate.

Does your mom dream of a Vuitton bag, but you can't afford to give it to her? Keep her happy with a copy in 70% cocoa dark chocolate. And if you want to surprise your friends, present them with an assortment of white, dark and milk chocolate cannelés, filled with melting caramel, rum and vanilla. They're crunchy on the outside and melt-in-the-mouth on the inside. Original and delicious! All these delicacies are examples of the talent of Sébastien Audevard, chocolatier by profession and chocolate sculptor. Not only beautiful, but also of the highest quality.

What we love here is the creativity of Morgan Vignon, a young man with an atypical background, originally from Cap Ferret (where he also has a boutique). For Mother's Day? Gourmet roses. For Father's Day? Cigars (Cuban rum ganache). May^1st? Gourmet lily of the valley with almond-hazelnut praline. And for Christmas? A pretty Advent calendar, transparent, well-stuffed baubles, etc. Specialties include a forest honey ganache or a mango passion fruit paste with a coconut praline.
