Au Chat Bleu

The blue wooden facade of Au Chat Bleu stands out on the Rue de la Grande Chaussée with its gilded lettering and hand-painted cat resting above the door. This chocolatier occupies a space that has served sweet-toothed visitors since the early twentieth century. Its history centers on the creation of the Chat Bleu chocolate, a praline filled with coffee-flavored cream and wrapped in blue foil. Local legend insists the recipe remains a closely guarded secret passed down through generations of confectioners.
