Patisserie Chocolaterie Bigot

If you love hot chocolate, sweet treats, and warm service, be sure to visit Bigot while in Amboise! This four-generation, family-owned chocolate shop and patisserie serves wonderful treats in a beautiful old building on the square leading up to the Chateau Royale d'Amboise. We were glad that it was particularly cold and rainy, so that we could visit the shop every day of our stay. We even got hot chocolate to go when we left town!

As you reach the square.. go no further, and enter this charming, hospitable café. Now if you can get by the displays of chocolate and pastries.. do so, but only for now. Lunch is the total ‘experience française’. In addition to the Sausage in Pastry, we had the Quiche Lorraine - you never had better! And the Café Gourmand.. coffee (all French Press) and delightful pastry desserts.. the Total Experience. Now, buy your pastries and chocolates on the way out! You’ll see the Bigot bags of goodies everywhere. This completes if not highlights, your trip to Amboise.

Warm staff Great cakes and baked goods The orange warm chocolate is fantastic The old lady who owns the place has a lovely kind personality The salad was okay

We had excellent hot chocolates here. And the cake with almond and apricots is divine. I took one all the way back to the states and it made it in perfect condition and everybody loved it.. All the pastries are excellent. I hope to come back to Amboise and eat here again here someday.

I wish I had tried their coffee as well. But I really love their pastries!!

This is an old chocolatier and Pâtisserie on the main street below Château Amboise. They have two indoor seating sections as well as outdoor tables as well. We stopped here recently and were served good cups of hot chocolate and shared a slice of comte tart. Everything was fine however more enjoyed was the Pave Royal speciality tart which we took home and enjoyed over the next couple of days at our accommodation and while out sightseeing. It was packaged nicely and tasted rather nice.

Perfect place to start the day, pastries and chocolate is amazing!! Quiche Lorraine was light and fluffy with the perfect flaky crust. So good, we started the day out twice here. Highly recommend!

Good place for quick breakfast - nice bread and croissant and quiche excellent. Decent coffee by French standards.
