"Candied fruits are a favorite sweet in France, and when you sink your teeth into one, releasing the sticky-sweet goo and biting zest of a preserved clementine, you’ll have a new favorite, too. Henri Auer came to the region in 1820, drawn by the local abundance of fruit that would provide tasty fodder for his sweetshop. In 1890, his son introduced candied fruits, and three generations later, the family is still providing some of the best sweets in Nice. A tempting display of candied chestnuts, chocolates, fruit jellies, and cocoa-dusted nuts, as well as candied fruits, is elegantly lit by a crystal chandelier in the original 19th-century shop."

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!

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!

Wow, super impressive classy chocolaterie and "confit' place. And, naturally, super expensive as well. Love the shiny brass, old style furnishings, movie showing how chocolate is made, and the simply gorgeous presentation of sweets, laying there in their little 'beds' looking up at you, imploring to be chosen, and swallowed. The kind of chocolate that's hard to know how to it eat it, bite, lick, swirl, stare, feel, rub...how? And almost regret when it's gone, forever. Oh, and yes, it's 1E per piece, a small piece. Ah... Visit, walk around, ruminate on the eye-candy, and know it's real candy, almost too good to eat, a real shame to eat, somebody's painstaking hard and careful work... no worry, they'll make more! Right beside the opera house, up the street from ancient church, very nice location in the old town.

So good! The woman behind the counter was so polite and patient with us. We bought chocolates, a bar, and chocolate-covered orange peels. We could easily have purchased a lot more, but didn't have room in our luggage. But delicious chocolate!

the candied fruit is way way too sweet but the chocolate covered almonds are a must. A bit pricey.
