Maison Auer Chocolaterie Confiserie Nice

Maison Auer Chocolaterie Confiserie in Nice stands as one of the city's oldest chocolate shops, maintaining its prestigious status since the early 1800s under family ownership. Legend has it that it was a favored spot of Queen Victoria, who even had her own room to indulge in chocolates while awaiting the opera. Don't miss out on their exquisite chocolate almonds; they are simply delicious!

So good! The woman behind the counter was so polite and patient with us. We bought chocolates, a bar, and chocolate-covered orange peels. We could easily have purchased a lot more, but didn't have room in our luggage. But delicious chocolate!

Service excellent, great offer, reqlly good quality and very nice store. Recommended. Prices - normal for the quality

One of the oldest chocolate shops in Nice. A famous place that’s still owned by the family since the early 1800s. Story goes that it is one of Queen Victoria’s favourite chocolate shop. Must try the chocolate almonds! Delicious!

Wow, super impressive classy chocolaterie and "confit' place. And, naturally, super expensive as well. Love the shiny brass, old style furnishings, movie showing how chocolate is made, and the simply gorgeous presentation of sweets, laying there in their little 'beds' looking up at you, imploring to be chosen, and swallowed. The kind of chocolate that's hard to know how to it eat it, bite, lick, swirl, stare, feel, rub...how? And almost regret when it's gone, forever. Oh, and yes, it's 1E per piece, a small piece. Ah... Visit, walk around, ruminate on the eye-candy, and know it's real candy, almost too good to eat, a real shame to eat, somebody's painstaking hard and careful work... no worry, they'll make more! Right beside the opera house, up the street from ancient church, very nice location in the old town.

Wide variety of chocolates and fruit candies. Treated a few, all delicious with the appropriate amount of sweetness - not too much or too less. Bought chocolates as gifts for friends back home.

the candied fruit is way way too sweet but the chocolate covered almonds are a must. A bit pricey.

This is an impossibly beautiful old store, one of my favorites in Nice and seemingly untouched for a hundred or more years, centrally located in the old town. The prices are high but it's free to look (and the chocolate bars are affordable).
