Where To Get The Best Chocolate In Strasbourg

Being a sugar-producing region and its proximity with Switzerland and Germany have contributed to Alsace’s long love affair with chocolate. The region is still to this day the leading exporter of chocolate in France. Self-professed chocoholics will find in Strasbourg an exciting mix of traditional know-how and innovation. No wonder it’s a main stop on The Chocolate Way, the first European chocolate network. In fact, the city’s history is so tightly woven with chocolate that it has its own museum.
