From bean to bar: Visit a traditional chocolate factory in Mayenne and discover how fair-trade and organic cocoa beans are transformed into exceptional chocolates.
If you're a fan of artisan chocolate, this is the visit for you! In Sainte-Suzanne, Charline's bean-to-bar chocolate factory opens the doors of its production laboratory, located just behind the shop, for a sensory and educational immersion in the heart of the cocoa transformation process. Here, it all begins with the organic and fair-trade cocoa bean, rigorously selected, then processed on site, respecting the flavours and textures.
Grand cru bars, mendiants, discovery boxes, spreads... Each speciality is the fruit of highly specialised craftsmanship, combining technical mastery, a passion for chocolate and exacting standards for raw materials. During your visit, Charline will take you through the key stages in the production of artisan chocolate, from the raw bean to the melting bar, and give you an immersive experience in direct contact with the raw material in her processing workshop.
👉 A gourmet, sensory discovery of organic cocoa, local crafts and chocolate creations.
This visit is part of the Journées Régionales de la Visite d'Entreprise (Regional Company Visit Days), an initiative that promotes local know-how and brings the public closer to the professional world.
Bookings can be made online or at the Sainte-Suzanne les Coëvrons Tourist Office from 26 August 2025.
Visit limited to 15 people.
