Visit the Palais des Bonbons and the Fabrique Artisanale de Nougat in Montélimar
The Palais des Bonbons and the Fabrique Artisanale de Nougat are the historic museums of this magnificent tourist site, before others were created over the years. Because sweets are universal memories, you can enjoy a nostalgic retro stroll around the theme of childhood and memories!
Open from 10 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. during school vacations, the Palais teaches you all you need to know about sugar and the history of sweets. The ideal place to learn all about the taste of sugar, its place in daily consumption and dietary balance, and its use in art and film!
The Palais takes you back to your childhood with vintage sweets, a film retracing 50 years of candy advertising, exhibitions on chocolate, honey, lemonade and the world of Canadian maple, and a whole host of tastings. In 2024, the great new feature of the Palais is the Bonbec Village, a veritable work of art to be admired in an enchanted universe! World-famous since the 18th century, Montélimar nougat is also a must-try. At the Fabrique artisanale de Nougat, you can watch the master nougat-maker work the nougat by hand and bake it in a cauldron, to learn all about the secrets of making this pure delight. Open to all, the official Palais boutique lets you take home tasty souvenirs.
