Luckily for them, we found the top of gourmet entertainment to occupy them in April. With parents or grandparents, your little monsters will be delighted!

One hour from Lyon, set off to discover two unmissable places.

The Valrhona Chocolate City is an unforgettable experience for chocolate lovers and families. Located in Tain-l'Hermitage, about an hour from Lyon, you can discover the secrets of chocolate making, attend pastry chef demonstrations and taste a variety of Valrhona chocolates. This is a place not to be missed!

Julien's Factory is a chocolate factory and an artisanal confectionery located in Bourg-Argental, 15 minutes from Annonay. This family business makes chocolate from quality cocoa beans and candies, using traditional techniques to create unique and surprising flavors. You can discover their production workshop, attend demonstrations and taste their delicious chocolate. It is a must-visit for those curious about artisanal manufacturing.

From farm to farm: visits to producers
