Conservatoire de la Confiserie, a museum, workshop and store, inviting you to discover the techniques of sugar work.

From Renaud to Brel, through France Gall or the cinema, sweets stick to the teeth of our culture. And for good reason! They flavour our territory. Each town has its own speciality, capable of taking us back to our childhood memories. It is this great history of the confectionery that Nicolas Viollet wishes to share, in this unique place in France. It must be said that he fell into the pot when he was little! Here, one is craftsman confectioner of generation in generation. A love of sugar and machines since this enthusiast resurrects and collects more than 2 000 pieces, of all sizes, all ages and all origins. With a desire to participate in the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage, he has decided to create a museum in 2021, both workshop and shop. In an industrial atmosphere of the late 19th century, the public is invited to discover its ancestral know-how through demonstrations of the day's confections: pastilles, berlingots, dragées, nougats, pralines, calissons... Discover the manufacturing process of your favourite sweets and the very particular and demanding techniques of sugar work. Candies still warm to be tasted in preview. A sort of appetizer before finding them in the shop. There is no doubt that this new address in Amboise will be a success: the French are greedy, they consume 215,000 tons of sweets per year!

Grosse déception : faire payer 4.50 euros par personne pour juste voir des écrans et des machines où personne ne travaille. Nous avons été pris pour des pigeons. Un conseil: avant de payer assurez-vous de pouvoir voir comment sont fait les produits car c’était le but de cette visite .

Très belle, intéressante et amusante visite animée par le propriétaire et son apprentie ! Une visite participative ludique qui ravira les tous petits comme les plus grands ????. Le musée est bourré d'anecdotes. Les produits sont de très belles qualités. Nous nous régalons encore des berlingots assortis, pastilles au cactus ????, pastilles au miel/thym/citron ????, pastilles litchi, pastilles effervescentes & praline arachide. La boutique est magnifique. Nous avons pris le temps de discuter avec le papa qui a transmis les rênes à son fils. Nous espérons qu'il y aura une 4eme génération pour perpettrer le savoir faire artisanal ????????. Foncez. Vous ne le regretterez pas ????
