Cite du Chocolat Valrhona

It was a famous chocolate 🍫 in France 🇫🇷 for a long time. This museum is kind of telling you how they make chocolate 🍫 from simple to factory like nowadays. It was a fancy chocolate, and you will have more information about how they improved people life around the world( South America, Africa...) with the cacao tree 🌳 to make a difference chocolate with different flavors and teases. It was nice when they gave me some chocolate without milk cause I got lactose. With your ticket 🎟 you can scan and get some free chocolate inside the museum. Upstairs, they have the place for kids to place, and the parents can drink some coffee to take a break. Next door, they have a bouquet chocolate store. So you can visit and choose some chocolate like gift 🎁 for your people then. Good luck, and have a nice experience there! Highly recommended if you visit Valence 👌

Very nice museum experience. It is a great and interactive way to learn about the manufacturing, the origin, the different kinds and of course the tasting. Do not eat chocolate or dessert before visiting, they will feed you so many samples during the visit! :D

If you enjoy a good piece of chocolate, the museum is definitely worth a visit! The place is rather small, but there is definitely a lot to read and discover, also for children! Make sure to be ready for some tastings and don't miss out on the staff's presentations! It was very enjoyable :)

Pretty cool chocolate museum. It's modern and high tech. There's interactive videos and emersive displays. You also get chocolate samples so you can learn what real quality chocolate tastes like. My only complaint is that now other chocolates will always be waxy inferior chocolate compared to Valrhona chocolate.

An interesting museum that provides a great explanation of the entire chocolate-making process, from cacao cultivation to many other fascinating details. Plus, the fact that tasting is included in the price is a fantastic bonus!

Tip: Bring a bag! Really fun and educational chocolate ‘factory’ with lots of chocolates as free giveaway. A bit smaller than other chocolate factory. But all of the animations and techs were working well. Can get a bit busy as the screens were interactive whilst sampling chocolates. Kids get a special ‘treasure’ hunt quest and free gift at the end! There’s also a little quiet playroom at the end of the visit just before the cafe - for those who wish to have a little quiet time.

Nice interactive museum which give you insight to chocolate making and the history of chocolate. There are parking areas (see web aite dor pdf map) but they are not situated just outside Cite du chocolat de Valrhona so you have to walk a bit. The shop has a great a selection of chocolate for baking as well as eating and there are also pralines.

Brilliant museum showing the growing, processing and manufacture of chocolate. Valrhona is a world leader in chocolate,6certfied B Corp, and learning about their treatment of growers and their produce is excellent. Lots of samples are available as you go around the tour, from samples of single origin chocolates, bonbons upstairs, and tasting of bonbons during the kitchen talk about enrobage. Your ticket gets you 10% discount in the shop too.
