For the grandeur of the city, the chocolaterie was rather underwhelming; I was expecting Willy Wonka excitement, but got an average-sized speciality shop. The cafe at the back was even more surprising – it looked like a recent afterthought, with just a few simple tables and little warmth to the decor.
