The daughter is a pompous woman, who wants her mother to live at the Home for the Elderly. She becomes friends with Vianne, they talk a lot, so, Vianne gets to know that the woman has a daughter and a grandson.

She also doesn’t visit the church, mocks at the cure and the citizens, and doesn’t follow the Lent. In some time Josephine completely changes: she turns into a beautiful, uninhibited, confident woman.Īlso there is an old woman, who often visits Vianne’s shop, Armande Voizin. But the woman doesn’t want to change her mind. The town, the cure, Paul-Marie are awfully angry: the wife must live with her husband. Vianne convinces her to stay in the town, live with her and help her in the shop. Josephine listens to her, and in some time she comes to Vianne’s shop and says that she has got away from her husband and she is going to run to another town and start the new life. Vianne says that the woman mustn’t suffer such treatment. She becomes her friend, and Josephine tells her that her husband is cruel and merciless man, that he beats and abuses her. Everybody knows her as a thief, but Vianne sees in her only a scared, ill-fated woman. Later Vianne gets to know that it’s Josephine Muscat, her husband, Paul-Marie, runs the café in the town. Once Vianne sees among her clients an odd woman: she seems to hide behind others, creeps to one of the showcases and steals one of the sweets hand over fist. But she has got used to be lonely for most of her time, and she has her imaginary friend – a rabbit Pantoufle. Her daughter, like her mother, is also affable and cheerful girl, so she quickly finds new friends among the town’s children. She knows them: their problems, secrets, their characters. Vianne is a friendly, kind and sincere woman, so she finds a lot of friends among the citizens. But the people are attracted to the unsurpassed fragrance wafting from the shop, and in some time, they start coming to the shop to drink some hot chocolate or eat dainty chocolate sweet. So, at first the woman doesn’t have clients at her shop. So, preaching at the church, he indoctrinates the citizens against Vianne. He isn’t used to that fact that somebody may contradict him. She has in mind to stay here for as much time, as she wants. But the woman doesn’t pay attention to him. This, and the fact that she doesn’t go to the church, brings on the hostility of the fanatically devotional cure. Vianne, having come to the town at the Lent, starts to set up a chocolate café there. The second protagonist is a cure in the local cathedral. They travel all around the world, not staying anywhere for a long time. The first one is a woman who stopped in the town with her daughter Anouk. It is told by the two protagonists: Vianne Rocke and Francis Reynaud. The story takes place in a small town named Lansquenet-sous-Tannes. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. The chocolate bar was designed to be divided into bars or squares, as wished.These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community.

The molds are then cooled so that the chocolate can solidify sufficiently to be turned out of the molds.Ĭonceived by Pierre Tachon (Soins Graphiques), the chocolate bar design is graced with chiseled, customized lines, which form beveled squares that recall to mind the bricks of La Manufacture. This is followed by the pouring phase before the molds are sent to the vibrating or “tapping” tables to uniformly blend the chocolate preparation. At the beginning of the production process of each chocolate bar, the prepared chocolate mixtures are conched then tempered. The chocolate bars, produced using artisanal techniques at La Manufacture, undergo ten or more steps before they are ready to be tasted. Satisfying the gourmand, the chocolate bars are filled with either praliné, caramel, or almond paste. The Mendiant Chocolate Bars allow for the savoring of a crunchy artisanal chocolate dressed in dried or confit fruit. As for the Single-Origin Chocolate Bars, they highlight the characteristics of a unique terroir, containing cocoa beans form a single cru per chocolate bar. The Signature Chocolate Bars are the result of original Chocolat Alain Ducasse recipes, in particular the Blend that brings together three distinct origins.
