Regional bonus: Le Caraque d’Or
We love the name of this chocolatier located just outside Toulouse, in the commune of Cugnaux to be precise (easily accessible by public transport). And we love its homemade chocolates even more! Whether praline-flavored, fruity, with ganache or in bars, this house’s creations are irresistible! And don’t miss their caramel fleur de sel spread, to die for!
And as an added bonus, Cugnaux is also home to the bakery of the winner of the Coupe du Monde de Chocolatine. Two good reasons to visit!
