This distinction, awarded by SNELAC, recognizes the Cité du Chocolat Valrhona's ongoing efforts to offer a tourism experience that is both gourmet and responsible.
The challenges of sustainable tourism include preserving fragile ecosystems, reducing pollution, promoting social and economic equity, and raising visitor awareness of environmental and cultural issues. Much more than a simple visit, the Cité du Chocolat Valrhona offers an immersive experience at the heart of the cocoa-chocolate industry.
Visitors are invited to discover the secrets of chocolate-making, learn how to taste it and take part in fun, educational workshops. With the 'Sustainable Entertainment' label, we aim to raise awareness of the need for enlightened, responsible consumption. Visitors learn not only about chocolate, but also about our in-depth eco-design approach, our corporate culture rooted in sustainability and our efforts to support local partners.
By obtaining this label, the Cité du Chocolat Valrhona becomes the first tourist site to be awarded the label in the Rhône-Alpes region, demonstrating that chocolate can be a vector of pleasure and awareness.
