Shop
The shop is located on Franklin Roosevelt Square, which is also a major street.
The surroundings are very stylish.
The footpaths are wide and very easy to walk on.
A restaurant is located next to the shop.
If you want to enjoy a stylish lunch or dinner, stop by for a bite to eat.
Chocolate patties were displayed in the show window.
Small will cost EUR 11.5 and large EUR 18.
I couldn’t buy it because I had a lot of luggage, but I wanted to buy it to take home.
The shop is very clean.
It feels like you are shopping in an exclusive shop.
Cakes are in the front and chocolates are at the back.
You can choose your favourite chocolates and buy as many as you like, so buy all the flavours you are interested in.
This is Bernachon’s signature cake, Président.
Eclairs are a welcome treat for travellers, as they can be eaten immediately on the spot.
The taste is slightly different from the eclairs you get in Paris.
It is very tasty and has a strong cocoa flavour
Summary
Bernachon is a must-stop shop when in Lyon.
The shop is of a very high standard, true to its reputation.
I bought about 20 chocolates for myself, and the overall impression is of a strong cocoa chocolate.
I’ve eaten quite a lot of chocolate in Paris, but it’s a bit different again.
There are many other chocolate shops in Lyon, but it is advisable to start with Bernachon.
Thank you again for reading to the end of this issue.
