Bonnat ChocolateBonnat
is story of a family’s long love affair with chocolate. It is a story which
began back in 1884 when Félix Bonnat established his premises at number 8, cours
Sénozan in Voiron (Isère region).
And in 1956 Raymond Bonnat finally
took over the firm. After studying business, he toured France,
studied at the School
of Chocolatiers
in Basel,
completed the COBA
School
and finally did a tour of Switzerland.
He got married in 1959 and his wife Nicole, the daughter of well-known hoteliers
in the region, helped him to run the business. Two of their four children,
Cécile and Stéphane from the fourth generation, perpetuate the high quality
tradition which has always formed the basis of the family business.
The
shop in Voiron is a place of pilgrimage for unconditional Bonnat lovers where
they are greeted by Nicole Bonnat and her daughter Cécile. |
