Been visiting Verdun and hitting all the must-see sites including this renowned candy factory…read more Everywhere we've been people have been exceptionally nice except this place. It was deserted when we arrive and the first employee we met in the store was a total b^%$ch. She could barely bring herself tp let us know the factory door was around the back and directed us to stand in front of a door which she would open for us. We waited and she never showed. We went back to the store found someone else to open the door and she was another b%$#@!. Back in the store b%$#@! Number 1 was only too happy in her manner to let us know she resented out buying candy. Seriously don't go here. They HATE TOURISTS! There.s not much to see anyway. They show a 30 minute video and then you can walk around and see the workers making candy except when we were there there was only a few people working and not doing much of anything.

So if you want a great deal on non-colored/filled macaroons, this is the shop to visit!

This is a really nice chocolate shop and restaurant. The inside is nicely done in a Parisian cafe…read morestyle. The chocolates and coffee were really good and the service was great. One nice touch is you get chocolates with your coffee. We will return.
