This was a good place to spend thirty to forty minutes. It goes through the history and value placed on cocoa beans. It was interesting and there were little stations that gave visitors the opportunity to taste some chocolate buttons. The option to have a hot chocolate at the end of the tour for an extra three euros wasn't really worth it as they didn't have many flavours left. We had to make do with white chocolate which was super sweet. Too sweet for either of us to drink much more than two or three sips. The huge exhibits of the Eiffel tower and the fashion made from chocolate was worth a look but I don't think this museum is worth the admission prices they're charging.
I took the chocolate workshop. It was fun but I expected more for the price. I had to dip marshmallows, fudge and orange peel in chocolate. The guy was nice but when I asked about the chocolate temperature he said “ we have new thing called google” I would love if the class was more about of how we melt the chocolate and not only decoration. For the visit its good since it covers all the history and there is a spots where you can eat free chocolate. Overall I am giving a 3 stars just for the class but I would recommend doing the visit.
Its a small area with no actual chocolate manufacturing happening if you buy the basic ticket. Its a story telling with exhibit. Max 45 minutes. Depends on your chocolate interest.
