Artisanal know-how at the heart of Croix Rousse
At Pralus in Lyon, the passion for chocolate and pastry is passed down from generation to generation. Founded by Auguste Pralus, the house was marked from its beginnings by its commitment to excellence, which led Auguste to receive the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 1955.
It was also he who invented the famous Praluline©, this brioche sprinkled with shards of pink pralines. Since then, this creation has become an emblematic ambassador of the Pralus house, known and appreciated both in France and internationally.
The recipe, jealously guarded, passed from Auguste to his son François, who proudly continues this family legacy. The Croix Rousse boutique embodies this heritage, where each chocolate, each brioche is made from A to Z with artisanal care. This devotion to quality transforms each visit into a memorable experience, full of authentic flavors and chocolate history.
The chocolate specialties of Pralus in the 4th arrondissement
François Pralus, renowned master chocolatier in Lyon, is renowned in the art of chocolate, from bean to bar. Its commitment to original chocolate is reflected in a meticulous selection of beans, allowing it to offer unique flavors that captivate the most demanding palates.
At the Croix Rousse boutique, chocolate bars, rich in pure cocoa, come in several varieties, guaranteeing an authentic taste experience. The Pyramid of the Tropics, another jewel of Pralus, offers a sensory journey through ten origins of cocoa, symbolizing ten producing countries. The Infernal Bars, a fusion of chocolate and generous toppings, complete this palette of delicacies. Each product reflects Pralus' artisanal know-how and passion for chocolate, making his boutique a must-see for chocolate lovers in Lyon.
The best of Pralus pastry
At the heart of the history of French pastry, Auguste Pralus left an indelible mark with Praluline©. Created in 1955, this brioche sprinkled with pink pralines was born in Roanne, but has also spread to Lyon, particularly in the Croix-Rousse district. Pralus' unique know-how is manifested through its specialties, where each product, from the original chocolate bar to the infernal bars, tells a story of quality and passion for chocolate.
