Fabulous chocolate shop that our tour guide Emma recommended. As soon as you enter you want…read moreeverything. We grabbed a plastic bag and went around filling it with white, milk, and dark chocolates wth pralines, nuts, fruits, and caramel. We meant to take it home with us but it didn't last too long as we went through half of it on the bus ride back to port. OOPS! We did manage to get a medium sized jar of salted caramel which we haven't tried but I assume it's going to be awesome. I got a handful of chocolate covered raisins and they blew Raisinets out of the water! Friendly service and she spoke some English. Merci Beaucoup!!! Great find in Bordeaux.

Service was prompt. It's a tourist thing to do, so I'm glad we did it.

She said she would only serve people who eat multi-course meals. I have never had this happen to me in Paris, no matter how bourgeoisie the restaurant was.
