What do Charles de Gaulle, Churchill, and Kennedy have in common? Besides the fact that they were all great men, they were also noted for their fondness for Swiss chocolate and frequent visits to the historic Chocolatier du Rhône confectionery, opened in Geneva back in 1875. “Well, who doesn’t love chocolate?” you may ask, and you would be right.
The Swiss themselves are especially fond of it, statistically eating up to 714 kg of chocolate over a lifetime. It is also said that so many varieties of chocolate have been invented in Switzerland that even if you try a new one every day, tasting them all would take you… 70 years!
If you are not ready for such a chocolate marathon, then at least try the signature chocolates “Mocca glacé from Chocolatier du Rhône,” the secret of whose preparation is kept in the strictest confidence.
Stop by for a “chocolate afternoon snack” in the tearoom of “Chocolatier du Rhône,” and you will become part of the circle of true connoisseurs of genuine Swiss chocolate. And what, if not souvenirs handmade using only natural ingredients, could become the best gift from Switzerland for friends?
