      L'Atelier du Chocolat is an adventure that began in 1951 in Bayonne thanks to Joseph and Madeleine Andrieu. In 1995, Serge and his wife Marie-Pierre Andrieu created the famous Bouquet de Chocolat. Since then, every day, our chocolatiers have been imagining new products and devoting themselves to the art of tablage in order to create fine, artisanal chocolate leaves made from 100% pure cocoa butter.

      It is thanks to this innovation and creativity that you can find all our delicacies in our Workshops Boutiques or on our website here.

      The choice of raw materials is a key step and we are committed to using high-quality ingredients in order to offer 100% cocoa butter chocolates.

      Our KIRESTA 70% cocoa dark chocolate is a unique composition of beans from Ecuador, São Tomé and Ivory Coast, a unique blend that has made it our signature chocolate for many years.

      Living around chocolate, discovering new sensory journeys, this is the tasty and delicious experience that Atelier du Chocolat offers you.


      Come and admire our chocolatiers at work in their "lab", separated from you only by a window during the "Chocolate Discovery Tour."

    Fun museum tour, with the entry price. The chocolate sampling at the end was also fun. Everything is translated in multiple languages including English.

    The lady at the reception who seemed to be more senior than the others were extremely rude and bullying. Her gesture and mimics gave an expression that she really doesn’t welcome you at the museum. We were so shocked. Other employees were very nice. The desk they served the chocolate for tasting was dirty and the chocolate tasting was very amateur woth no detailed information on the chocolate. Poor experience, horrible hospitality. Regret visiting

    You can book the tours very easily online. We did it in one of the shops. The two people working in the shop in the museum were very nice and could speak English very well. Almost everything is also written in English. They even offered to change the video that usually runs in French to the video in English. You can watch them working in the factory. Very interesting. They have a little activity for children at the end. My daughter loved it. Trying the chocolate at the end was of course the best. The man working at the shop explained each piece of chocolate very well, and it was very interesting. Of course we couldn't leave empty handed.
