Maison Auer

Old chocolate shop which was delightful to walk around. Lots of choices and high quality chocolate to indulge in. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. We sampled the dark covered orange and ginger, which were absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend and I plan to return on my next visit!

Maison Auer was founded in 1820 by Henri Auer, a Swiss confectioner who moved to Nice in search of opportunities. The place has 205 years old, and you can see it. Such a cute place to visit, the dried fruits are a must try when in Nice.

Really good ice cream. I had the vanilla raspberry and litchi one. And bought some Easter chocolate which is beautifully shaped

Maison Auer Chocolaterie Confiserie in Nice stands as one of the city's oldest chocolate shops, maintaining its prestigious status since the early 1800s under family ownership. Legend has it that it was a favored spot of Queen Victoria, who even had her own room to indulge in chocolates while awaiting the opera. Don't miss out on their exquisite chocolate almonds; they are simply delicious!

Husband brought one bag of almonds chocolate back. Almost finished within 15 minutes between the both of us. 😜

Service excellent, great offer, reqlly good quality and very nice store. Recommended. Prices - normal for the quality

This shop has some really nice and interesting history, and some really nice chocolates. I got 2 bars of dark chocolate for 16€ and they were really good.

One of the oldest chocolate shops in Nice. A famous place that’s still owned by the family since the early 1800s. Story goes that it is one of Queen Victoria’s favourite chocolate shop. Must try the chocolate almonds! Delicious!

This is a fantastic shop for yourself or great for keepsakes and gifts to friends and coworkers. The chocolates bring a bit of France back home to where you're traveling to. Pricing is reasonable. They're touristy but not price gouging. Customer service is great. Very friendly. Highly recommend. Very tasty selections.

The most amazing chocolate shop in Nice. bar none!!! This place has been around a really long time. The chocolate was amazing and the store is quite whimsical in its design and decoration. You should definitely give them a try.

Really tasty treats!!!! While some of the preserved fruits may be quite expensive the rest of the shop is appropriately priced. The chocolates and sweets are tasty! My one bit of criticism is that they should offer samples (or at least a sample pack to purchase) so that you can decide which items you want to purchase. The chocolate almonds are the best I've ever had.

Beautiful shop! Sweets everywhere! Bought a couple of the candied fruits to taste. Not much of a candied fruit fan but I guess it's good sweet but I don't think I would be eating much of these. The staff here is very sweet lol.

The salted caramels are old. If those are old, I can't imagine the chocolate to be any younger. The chocolate is not good at all. It doesn't melt easily in the mouth. See's chocolate (very good and cheap chocolate in the states) has much better chocolate than this place. It's been about 3 months since my trip and the chocolate bars are sitting on my counter. Too embarrassing to give away as souvenirs, too awful to eat. They will probably go into the trash soon. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy any chocolate pieces with nuts/fillings/ganache because no one was manning the area. I went in about 20 minutes before closing and the staff were super eager to close up shop and didn't really help anyone. I even lingered around the chocolate pieces so that someone would get the hint. A person came and left the area immediately. Sighs. Since I couldn't taste anything, I minimized my risk and just bought mini chocolate bars (about 15 tiny bars) and the salted caramels (about 12 peices). Once I tasted the caramels, my regret was immediate. Come for the decor, not for the chocolates.

Auer's pavé au chocolat is the best chocolate dessert in all of Nice, and the décor of this local institution is not to be missed, particularly at Christmas.

This is my favorite confiserie in Nice. Their candied fruit dessert is one of the best I've tasted in the mediterranean region and the middle east. The recipe is a thousand years-old and M. Auer does it best. The fruit is tasty, fresh and not too sweet.

The most magnificent chocolate I have ever tasted. Worth the trip to Nice just for these tasty morsels.
