Les Bonbons de Julien
Bourg-ArgentalIn a workshop especially designed to welcome the public, Julien and his team work with sugar & chocolate to make their homemade creations. These confectioners work their magic on the ingredients to create all sorts of sweet treats, in a range of delicious flavours: sweets in all shapes and sizes, marshmallows, etc.
Demonstration of how sweets and chocolates are made using natural ingredients. Sugary and chocolate-based creations of all kinds.
When visitors arrive on the premises, the confectioners/chocolate makers invite them to begin the tour. There are four parts to the tour:
- Explanation of the different natural ingredients used, through fun workshop activities.
- The museum of manufacturing sweets and lollipops the traditional way, and the various tools used in the past.
- A live demonstration from a qualified confectioner of making sweets and lollipops from baked sugar, in an amphitheatre with an opportunity to taste afterwards.
- Walkway overlooking the other workshops (manufacture of marshmallows, nougatine, chocolates, candied chestnuts, and, of course, the packaging room).
