Last updated date : 29/05/2025
One of Lyon’s leading chocolate makers since 1897, our range of high quality artisanal chocolates is made from selected raw materials. Creator of Lyon’s leading confectionery specialities: "Le Coussin de Lyon" and "La Praline Rose de Lyon".
At the end of the First World War in Lyon, Léon Voisin opened the first coffee and cocoa bean roasting factory which heralded the birth of Voisin's very first chocolate factory!
Voisin remains a family-owned concern to this day, still producing a wide range of authentic and 100 % pure cocoa butter chocolates made according to traditional recipes and coffee roasted in the old style.
The Voisin chocolate shop is behind the specialty that has become the city's ambassador: Le Coussin de Lyon. It also creates Quenelles de Lyon, Praline Rose de Lyon, and authentic Papillotes Lyonnaises.
