Verdier Chocolate Factory
Yup. A chocolate factory. Need I really say more?
Ok I will say a bit more... Verdier chocolate factory is a family-run business that has been in Pau for over 60 years. They've won many awards for their chocolate covered rasins.... and with good reason :) They make them by soaking them in the local sweet white wine, the Jurançon, then ...
