Côté Cacao Chocolates and artisanal sweets at Côté Cacao in Royan

ATELIER CÔTÉ CACAO IN ROYAN, CHARENTE-MARITIME, A STONE'S THROW FROM THE MARKET - A craft workshop dedicated to chocolate

Côté Cacao – The artisanal workshop that melts Royan

In the heart of Royan, a famous seaside resort in Charente-Maritime, lies a gourmet and authentic place: Côté Cacao, the chocolate workshop nestled within the chocolate factory. Here, each creation is the fruit of a deep passion for chocolate and a true love of a job well done.

Behind this sweet adventure is Adeline, an artisan chocolatier who crafts unique pieces with meticulousness and creativity. Far from industrial standards, everything is designed, molded, and decorated in the workshop itself, in a warm atmosphere where you can feel the heart of the craft beating.

Creations that awaken the senses

At Côté Cacao, chocolate comes in all its forms: intense dark, smooth milk, or delicate white, enriched with dried fruit, crunchy hazelnuts, or even more daring surprises. Each bar tells a story, each candy reveals a subtle balance between tradition and innovation.

Always looking for new things to surprise its visitors, the workshop even offers aperitif chocolates – an originality as delicious as it is unexpected, which seduces curious palates.

In addition, the shop offers a refined range of sugared almonds, marshmallows, fruit pastes, calissons, nougats, and other artisanal sweets, available in the shop or to order depending on the seasons and events.

A meeting place for all parties

For weddings, baptisms, Valentine's Day or other major celebrations, Côté Cacao becomes a true partner in life's special moments. Adeline creates tailor-made creations: exceptional sugared almonds, chocolate wedding cakes, personalized boxes, etc.

The workshop also stands out at events such as the Salon de l'Élégance, where spectacular works have been admired, such as dresses made entirely of chocolate – a testament to the artistic know-how and poetry that animates this place.
