    • Between legends and stories, in the footsteps of the myth of Quetzalcóatl, relive the conquest of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations as well as the arrival of chocolate in Europe and Bayonne! Then go back in time thanks to our collection of old manufacturing machines.


      Throughout this journey, witness with a gourmet eye the artisanal production of our specialties made from 100% pure cocoa butter chocolate. Educational and fun, this tour reveals all the stages of chocolate making.

      Finally, from harvest to its final transformation, experience the intense journey of the cocoa bean through a short film (20 minutes of screening) and discover all the secrets of its production.

      A workshop for children then offers budding little chefs (from 4 to 12 years old) the chance to practice their craft as chocolatiers, giving free rein to their imagination to decorate a bite with delicate white chocolate. Fun creations that they will proudly take home.

      Contemplate, touch, listen, smell, bite... At the end of the journey, your taste buds will be rewarded by tasting a selection of exceptional and unmissable chocolates.

      Visit from Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
      Chocolatiers present from Monday to Friday (production stops at 4:30 p.m.)
      Last visit 1h30 before closing.

    4 of us came on Wednesday. We had the museum all to ourselves! A fairly small museum, but really well done, the atmosphere, the background music and the lights are great, you can learn lots of things and see the lab live. It has old machines on display. The film shown is a little complicated for children (subtitled and the atmosphere is a little scary). The toilets deserve to be redone. For the tasting at the end of the visit, it would be good to invite people to sit down, especially if there are very few of us (which was the case). Because some people have this need depending on their health. Otherwise it was a great time, both for us (well chosen pieces of chocolate, well described, thank you very much to the young facilitator, who had only been there 3 days, it was perfect 🩷) and for the little ones (very nice chocolate painting animation). The shop is very nice, it really has everything. Allow 1h30 for the whole thing. Thanks again to the whole team!
