I've been to artisanal chocolate makers in many spots, but this one is in my top 5. Perhaps it's…read morethe nature of how they make the chocolate: no machinery, all handmade in their facility in Puyricard. Their website describes how they create the chocolate - suffice it to say that both texture, taste, and physical appearance are incredible. The lady in the shop spoke English well enough to help us choose: a few dark pieces filled with ganache, a mint, a coffee creme filling, and one with gianduja. It's going to break my heart if these aren't available in the US. The owner says online that based on production times, each piece takes about 1 minute 20 seconds to create. And then you eat one in 20 seconds, while the flavors linger for a minute. And the memory of those flavors will linger even longer!!!

Recently moved here to Avignon and trying out all the cafes and patisseries as of course this is…read moreFrance and there's several on every block. The cafe is beautifully decorated and pastries impeccably displayed. Pastry prices average roughly 5 euros each and portions are small but I'm sure they're worth it. The lattes however are way overpriced for such a small portion at just under 5 euros, much higher than many of the cafes in Avignon. The service is where I leave this place only two stars. The blonde woman who served us was extremely dismissive, and yes my french isn't great, however she seemed to make an effort to show she had zero idea of what I was saying. I ordered a second cup of overpriced latte, where we resorted to pointing to my current cup and saying one more. What annoyed me was the two older ladies sitting next to us had ordered coffee after us but was served before us even having us wait a bit longer. The woman didn't seem to care that we were there, wasn't friendly and we seemed to be an inconvenience to her day. I will obviously kick this place off my list of places to frequent to which I'm sure they'll be glad about. If you want great coffee at reasonable rates and welcoming atmosphere, visit Françoise near Place Pie. A large latte is only 3.30 euros.

Beautiful desserts. We bought a few different kinds, so far we have loved all of them. The praline…read moreflavored dessert with the Paris label was the best. The pistachio macarons are perfectly sweet and nutty.

A pricey but great nougat place!…read more They offer a large selection of nougat as well as almond products as well as praline. In terms of quality difficult to match. That is IMHO the case why the little store became larger and larger within the last years. While the quality stayed on the high level, the prices increased. Nonetheless, a great place to shop for "gifts" or goodies ;-)

We had a great time stopping in this great store and everything looked fabulous. We bought a few…read moreitems for gifts to bring back home and for ourselves too. Everyone loved the chocolates and it was so much fun to look around to shop. The staff was super friendly and everything was labeled and easy to purchase. Parking was easy as well to park by the store. Enjoy.

The most amazing place! Wine and chocolate pairing is 6 E. I couldn't decide what to buy, so I…read moreended up buying a ton of chocolate bars, white chocolate with a mallet! Wine and sleeves to bring the bottles home on the plane. The staff is so nice - they offer classes but sadly, it didn't work out with the schedule. Also coffee and gelato. Highly recommend! The place is next to a distillery, where you can get lavender liqueur in a purple bottle. Yup, I came, I saw, I wined.
