 Don't mention it to your dentist, but you can realise your wildest childhood dream: diving into a giant candy box! There are exactly 800m2 of sweet delights inside an Eiffel-like structure that is more than 1600m2.
Piles of candy, lines of lollipops, a whole wall of Carambar. Sweets that are not devoured only by your eyes, since you'll have received a big handful of candy at the entrance. After these delicious mouthfuls, it's time for the learning - ah, yes, we are in a museum, after all! - with rooms that tell the story of sugar and a film set in a virtual sugar refinery. Having thus obtained the raw material, what comes next is imagination freely expressing itself.
In joyfully unbridled excessiveness, we can see the biggest nougat in the world, a barrel of fragrance that gives off perfumes to identify, and specialities from all over the world, such as creamy caramel fudge from Argentina and a scorpion lollipop from Asia. There's a taste of art also, with a Joconde made of liquorice and the « Tournesols » (Sunflowers) by Van Gogh in Carambar. And then you'll be invited to see a few extracts from the film « Les Tontons flingueurs » to recall that even movies need sugar, for example, to simulate broken glass and bottles. A deliciously mischievous place created by the imagination of two friends, one a company manager and the other the former Mayor of Montélimar. It's not for nothing that we're in the capital of nougat!
