THE CHOCOLATE MUSEUM IN BAYONNE, BASQUE COUNTRY
Located in our chocolate factory, the Chocolate Museum is a great way to mark a stay in Bayonne, a city whose history is closely linked to that of chocolate.
Come and meet the cocoa bean and learn about this tasty and familiar treasure, from the cultivation of the cocoa tree to the production of our delicacies. All this is enhanced by videos, an exhibition of old machines and an educational film.
You will also be able to observe our chocolate makers at work in our "lab", separated from you by a glass wall. The melted chocolate beckons you to taste it, the ganache tenderly yielding under the cut... these scenes are worth all the speeches to inspire vocations.

Nous avons eu le droit à une super dégustation et une activité peinture sur du chocolat pour notre petite fille.
Merci beaucoup à Estelle et Claire pour tout leur conseils et explications pour le choix des chocolats à acheter. Et surtout merci pour l’accueil et pour votre sourire. Restez comme vous êtes mesdemoiselles !
Bouquet de chocolats commandé pour offrir, donc nous l'avons fait livrer directement sur le lieu de travail de la personne en question. Un prix élevé pour ce service (8€) non livré à la première date annoncée car l'adresse dans le mail récapitulatif était erronée ce qui a engendré une relivraison après modification mais hors délai.
Mauvaise expérience la livraison est a fuire !!
Les enfants ont la possibilité de décorer leurs propres chocolats
Musée fortement recommandé
Highly recommended museum , the information is displayed in English language as well. You learn quite a lot regarding the global production of modern chocolate but also about history of our beloved candy. Kids can paint on their own chocolate at the very end while adults have the possibility to taste various chocolate types from all over the world
