Philippe Bel has divinely created chocolates which were my favorites out of a number of chocolatiers I went to recently while in Europe. Plus, the woman helping me here was very nice and extremely patient with my struggling French. No question I would come back here for more when next in Lyon.

Wow! It's all I can say after trying some treats…read more Philippe Bel is one of 19 MOFs in chocolate in the world - an incredibly prestigious achievement. His shop is a reflection of all his years of studying the art of chocolate and candy. Everything in his chocolates are made by his shop - not purchased. The caramels melt in your mouth and are full of flavor. I adored the cassis (black currant) flavor. The chocolates are beautiful and touted as some of the best in the world, yet not badly priced. I was thrilled with my experience and highly recommend you stop in to taste (and buy) some delights!

You can get their chocolate almonds in a bag or boxed up (if you're gifting). I ended up getting a bag for myself. They are powder coated and aren't too sweet. They're pricey but worth it. Treat yourself!

The employees don't speak much English, but they were still very helpful! Ask for the "almond princess" aka chocolate covered almonds - which I think is their best seller as they have it in several size options (small bags, gift boxes). Yes - you'll think to yourself, why am I spending 10+ euros on almonds?? Trust me, it is a glorious experience!! I wish I brought more home. They seem to last quite a while so these would be great gifts to bring back (if you can resist eating them all yourself)! I also tried both milk and dark chocolate truffles which were so good. I only wish I visited Auer earlier on my trip so I could try more of their sweet treats!! Favorite chocolate shop ever!

I brought a big stack home of Madagascar 64%, Grand Cru Ecuador 70%, and Trinidad 80%. They were the most I've spent on a chocolate bar, but I wanted great Swiss chocolate.

Amongst the traditional sweets, you have to taste their grand cru chocolate bars : they select cocoa beans from the best regions, and the best cocoa trees.

A must go in Grenoble if you don't have time to go to Voiron, where the original shop is placed. It's expensive, but really worth the detour.
