Their web site says it correctly- this chocolatier is nearly at the end of the world (and worth the trip). They have signs along the road encouraging you to keep going, which is good, because many must wonder if they drove past it, or perhaps the store closed. Keep going! It is 2-3 km off the main road. Caroline does a fine job with her chocolates, ranging from "standard" pralines to interesting selections (such as Mojito, Prune, Thyme and Verbena).
Caroline was very kind and put up with my limited French, patiently describing the production process and their history. She introduced her daughter who works in the shop. I love supporting family businesses! I enjoyed my visit (and even went back but they were closed on Wednesday when I returned- sorry to miss you Caroline!). Note that they appear to be closed over the summer months. Be sure to see their web site for opening hours (http://www.chocolaterielencieux.fr/les-horaires/). I recommend a visit the next time you are in Gigondas or the Provence region of France. read more
