There is nothing I love more than a beautiful chocolatier who fabricates beautiful chocolates. It is a secret desire of mine to learn the craft of creating little boxes, rabbits and lambs, and giant sculptures in my favorite medium: Caocao! My last day in Nice, Madame M and I happened upon a gorgeous magasin, le "Maison Auer". Founded in 1820, family owned and operated, the Florentine decor catches the eye and draws one inside to discover a plethera of tasty treats. Chocolates crafted in house, candied fruits, a variety of honeys and confitures (jams and jellies), traditional cakes and nougat, even fruit liquers, the Maison Auer has it all! The perfect place for gift shopping, they have delicious ideas in every price range. Open tuesday through saturday 9-1:30 p.m. then again at 2:30-6 p.m. you can find them at 7 rue Saint François de Paule in beautiful downtown Nice, or visit their website at http://www.maison-auer.com/ C'est magnifique!
