Come and indulge in exceptional chocolates at the Au Roi Soleil chocolate factory.
Louis XIV introduced chocolate to the court at the Château de Versailles. At the time, the manufacture and sale of chocolate was a privilege granted only by the king.
It was with this idea of an exceptional product that the Au Roi Soleil boutique was born in 1953, in the heart of Versailles. The aim of its founders, Mr & Mrs Burckel, was to introduce visitors to pure cocoa beans, blends worthy of the finest wines, flavours that bring back childhood memories, where the subtle mixtures of cocoa beans, fruit and spices provoke an emotion akin to happiness.
