La Maison du Cacao

The tasting was phenomenal! Our guide spoke English, so no language barrier there, and really explained in depth all the history, use and production of cocoa and then chocolate. Really nice atmosphere, could move there😂

Nice museum. There are English tours on Wednesdays and Fridays. You can book on the website. We enjoyed the story of the cacao and than the tasting too. The program is 1 and a half hour long. On Sundays and Mondays they are closed. There is a shop as well.

Overall, the tastings and presentation were the highlight of this visit. The first "30 minutes" of the self guided tour first made this feel like a tourist trap as the museum portion is very small as the actual cacao plantation is elsewhere. However, once the presentation starts, this tour was very well run and the tasting of all phases and types of chocolate was great.

Great experience, very knowledgeable and courteous guide. She explained everything for us in English and was very personable. I was on crutches when visiting and she brought me a chair for the presentation. Yes, you must pay for the demonstration but the tastings along the entire process is more than what you pay. Please look at the pictures posted, you taste everything pictured plus additional many exceptional chocolates/cocoa and rum!! We thoroughly enjoyed this visit!

This was a hidden treasure on our trip! On our first full day, the weather was iffy with on and off showers. We were driving by and decided to stop, if for nothing else, to purchase a few items to bring home. We coincidentally arrived at the start of the English tasting of the day, so decided to pay and stay. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! The guide was extremely interesting and it was almost like being at a wine tasting, for chocolate! We learned so much about the process and got to taste the steps along the way.....and tour the grounds and see the cocoa pods growing! The little gift shop had delicious and amazing products you can't get anywhere else, and the staff could not be nicer. Do NOT miss this stop on your vacation!

Cool little place to see some cocoa trees and learn about the process. Booking in advance is recommended, especially if you would like to go for the English version as it is not available every day. First you can walk around for 30 minutes and read the information yourself (available in English) and then you have a guided tasting experience.

Self guided 30min tour of garden with education on chocolate history and process in English and French, then 45min tasting in French only. 8 euro/pp. Tues-Sat, 10-1:30, 2:30-4. No booking needed. Can purchase chocolate on site. Fun and get to try a lot of chocolate and hot chocolate!

Thoroyghy enjoyed this €8 per person self paced garden visit + demo+ tasting. The hit chocolate was so good! And the chocolate rum punch was definitely a high note to end the session. Love that 100% chocolate and the ginger infused one.
