I could hardly call myself a chocoholic without having visited this musuem, now could I? Every room in the building immerses you in the rich and sweet history of Cailler and chocolate itself, whether you're in their spacious theatre room, exploring the interactive exhibition rooms or perusing the floor to ceiling shelves of chocolate bars in their store. History buffs, selfie queens and sweet tooths - it doesn't matter who you are, you'll get a real taste for this experience and all it has to offer. To tell you exactly what you'll find might ruin your experience, but prepare for colourful lighting, sound effects, and cacao at every step!My friends and I were in Montreux to go to the International Hot Air Balloon Festival, and we had a free day on Sunday.

My friends and I were in Montreux to go to the International Hot Air Balloon Festival, and we had a free day on Sunday. Since Broc was pretty close to Montreux, we decided to visit the Cailler chocolate factory. They do have a student discount, which was nice. It's a short walk from the Broc Fabrique train stop. You walk to the ticket office then into the main building, which houses both the museum, gift shop, and cafe. The tours are about every hour, and the train also comes every hour more or less. They have audio guides in various languages for the tour. You walk through a brief history of where chocolate originates from with amazing visuals and sound. After that, we walked into a room that showed the supply chain of chocolate from people that grow the beans to deliver the chocolate. Then comes the factory part, where you can see people making chocolate. Lastly, the most exciting part! Chocolate tastings. It's a great way to sample chocolates because there are no samples in the gift shops. They had about ten different chocolate samples. I really wish they had water because tasting all of them was really sweet.Take a tour back in the history of chocolate and the local tradition. Registration included and as my daughter said, I never thought I’d only spent 10 min in a place with excellent and unlimited supply of chocolate... bring some water. Count about 1 hour for the visit.

The most important thing is to book tickets for a specific time online on their official website before you come here as it can be a long wait else. It was a nice experience were you go from one room to the next tracing the origins of chocolate and finally ending with how they manufacture it today. You get to taste some nice chocolate too. You get some small chocolates (which are amazing). However, don't get too full from eating these as in the last room they have really amazing and rich chocolates (for free!) which you should try. Do bring some water, to quench the thirst after eating the chocolate. The shop also sells discounted chocolate - so buy your swiss chocolates here to take back home.Some friends drove us to the Cailler factory near the cheese village of Gruyere.

Some friends drove us to the Cailler factory near the cheese village of Gruyere. The journey up from Lausanne was spectacular in itself. The original factory (a building architecturally interesting) still stands proud, dominating the mountainscape. The tour (aided by chocolate bar shaped audio guides which work really well) leads you through the complete history of the Caillier brand from 1819 to the present day. Along the way you will learn and begin to understand everything that goes into the making of quality chocolate. This includes lots of touching, smelling and finally tasting everything that goes into this delightful product. The tour finishes in the boutique where I imagine very few people leave empty handed! Well worth a visit.Being in Geneve we decided to visit chocolate factory Cailler in Broc village. We have a long way on foot from Gruyere Castle to Cailler.

Being in Geneve we decided to visit chocolate factory Cailler in Broc village. We have a long way on foot from Gruyere Castle to Cailler. We lost a road several times, it is difficult to find on foor or by bus (the best way to reach is by train from Bulle) and finally reached the factory. Unfortunately we were late for 15 mins when the last ticket were sold and were not allowed to enter the excursion at the factory which was our goal. We bought several chocolates only and being upset returned to Geneve.
