About

As if a charming chocolate shop in the heart of downtown Quebec weren’t enough of a draw, this fine chocolatier gives you another reason for coming. Upon entering, visitors will notice it opens up to a room full of historical artifacts and tools used to make chocolate. There are also sculptures and houses made of chocolate—and even an entire woman’s dress. While you browse the collection, a slideshow passes which showcases the world’s largest cup of hot chocolate, a chocolate Eiffel Tower, the world’s largest chocolate bar. Whether or not you love chocolate, you can appreciate the history that goes into this world-changing commodity.
