Nestled under the bandstand behind the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, this café rando smells of chocolate!

It’s the ideal place to relax on the terrace or under the bandstand, after discovering the city and its treasures! The setting is simply splendid, under the trees of this village-style square.

Christophe and his team will provide you with a soothing experience, full of generosity and sharing.

Christophe Tahier Cocoa passion

The “Autour du chocolat” adventure began in 2018, with a bus as its first laboratory! Originality at its best!

With his mobile store, Christophe set up shop on the Valenciennes market and behind the museum in front of the kiosk… which would later become the most gourmet café rando in the Valenciennes area!

Christophe is passionate about his work. His credo is to share his love of traditional craftsmanship and make people happy.

The kiosk is first and foremost a meeting place for lovers of sweet treats. What could be better after a stroll around town to see the most beautiful statues, than to relax over a homemade hot chocolate, and sample the delights of the chocolatier?

The “Autour du kiosque” café rando is the perfect way to round off your “dolce vita” experience.

My little tip: Dive into the atmosphere of the Saturday morning market, on Christophe’s terrace!
