![]() A family business since 1892Back when this story began, Clémentine and Auguste Rouzaud, a chocolatier's daughter and a mine inspector's son, had just decided to take over a little chocolate shop in the spa resort of Royat, in the Auvergne.Auguste fell in love with chocolate. He tested, measured, mixed, smelled and compared, creating both innovative techniques and astonishing flavours. At his side, Clémentine focused on selling these new creations by word of mouth. She sent a box of their finest chocolates to Edmond Rostand, whose play was being performed at the casino de Vichy at the time, and who was staying at the Pavillon Sévigné. And a trademark was born... "À la Marquise de Sévigné"!
