We found this small shop while walking around Marseilles and stopped in on a whim. The ladies were incredibly friendly, offering us samples of their unique olive oil chocolate. They are multilingual and incredibly considerate of allergies. The shop has all kinds of unique olive-oil based chocolate, from chocolate coffee beans to lavender infused or coffee infused chocolate. I bought some chocolate covered ginger to take home for about $20. A little pricier but the olive oil chocolate was quite unique and very smooth. Lovely spot, would come back for some high end chocolate.

This is definitely a must stop when visiting Marseille. The SAs are very friendly and constantly offering whole samples of cookies, chocolates, and candies. Delicious! I think I gained a pound just trying everything! Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. The packaging is equally colorful, whimsical, and oh so French. Plus if you prefer, they wrap each item as a gift. Score! I really enjoyed their variety of nougat, cookies, and marzipan candies. It was tough deciding which flavors to get since they were all so yummy! Apparently the store is doing well and is expanding in the U.S. They currently have a store in NYC, and have plans for SF.
