Chocolaterie Alexis Monod

On Rue Pairolière in Old Nice, Alexis Monod has chosen to settle at number 18 for a reason that says everything about his commitment: 'in memory of his native city'. This engaged young Niçois artisan produces his chocolates from fair trade raw materials — a rare and sincere approach in French artisan chocolaterie — and sources Niçois terroir fruits for his jams and fillings.

Alexis Monod's approach is coherent in every detail: no machines in his laboratory — everything is handmade, in an entirely manual process.

Signature Creations

Dark chocolate bonbons with rose or violet from Tourrettes-sur-Loup — this Provençal village famous for its violet cultivation, 30 minutes from Nice — are the menu's most Niçois specialities. The chocolate heart, dark chocolate handbag, milk chocolate waffle are original creations making the boutique's success. Tablets with very original design with vivid colours and modern graphics have an immediately recognisable visual identity. Homemade jams complete the range.

Online Boutique

Alexis Monod offers a complete online boutique — chocolates, confiseries, jams, gift boxes — shipped across France.

Pricing

Design chocolate tablet from €5. Assorted chocolate box from €12. Homemade jams €7.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: The fair trade commitment is described as an authentic, coherent approach, rare in artisan chocolaterie. Tourrettes violet bonbons are cited as a unique, memorable Niçois speciality. Tablet design is unanimously praised for originality and colours. Prices are considered very reasonable for committed artisanal quality. The online boutique is very practical.

Areas for improvement: Notoriety remains more confidential than the great houses. Boutique space is small. Some clients mention occasionally limited stock on most popular creations.

Overall: Chocolaterie Alexis Monod is ideal for visitors seeking committed, creative and accessible Niçois chocolate — a sincere boutique carried by an artisan who has placed his values at the heart of his project.
