Nicolas Viollet is a passionate collector who, over the years, has amassed an impressive collection of 2,000 confectionery pieces, creating a true living museum.
His passion is divided between the art of confectionery and collecting. Nicolas recalls, "At 12, I was making my own pralines, and by 16, I had bought my first calisson machine."
His collection includes a diverse range of machines and confectionery objects: a 1910 lollipop roller, sugar cookers, dragee turbines, and lozenge presses. These machines, of various sizes, ages, and origins, are united like a gourmet orchestra in this unique conservatory.
Recalling the fantastical world of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," this place is a true wonder, with an industrial style that is certainly worth the detour.
