Please note that this museum is not a destination museum but a fun activity if you are visiting the picturesque town in which it is located. It is also one of the few things that is open during the off-season, should you be visiting during the winter or early spring.
For the price of admission, you can go through the series of exhibits as part of a self-guided tour. Exhibits are located in two moderately sized rooms. If you watch tons of baking shows, this is the place for you. The sculptures are detailed and ornate, most of which have a card explaining how long it took to complete them. It makes you appreciate how painstaking some of the creations were (admittedly, I would not have the patience to attempt any of them).
You also receive a tasting when finished. There is a small seating area to enjoy them, which is separate from the gift shop. The gift shop has lots of different types of chocolate truffles and a signature biscuit which was created (but previously forgotten) in the area.
Staff speaks English and French, and tour information is provided in multiple languages.
