  3. Chocolate experiences in workshops!

What if your dream of becoming a Master Chocolatier was to come true for a short while? The artisans below invite you to take their place for a workshop. Like the rest of the year, at Easter, chocolates are acclaimed by greedy adults and children alike.

La Baleine à Cabosse, passion and transmission

The Mediterranean city has more than one trick up its sleeve. Famous for its panisses, it also has a whole host of other surprises which are best at tea-time. You can’t just walk past the not-to-be-missed pretty red window of La Baleine à Cabosse. Claire and Aurélien put it so well – this artisanal chocolaterie offers chocolate from bean to bar. Their slogan? Bean to Bar Chocolaterie, because in their Marseille laboratory cocoa beans are cajoled into exceptional products. The idea of offering chocolate workshops was an obvious one for the two chocolate lovers!
