MARQUISE DE SÉVIGNÉ A family history since 1890 In the 1890s, the couple decided to start making chocolate and bought a room in Royat. The Great Chocolate Factory in the center is launched. The genius idea of Auguste and Clémentine is to stand out from industrial production. Make quality products and present them pleasantly in their own shops. Early marketing. After a first address in Royat, two followed in Vichy and success was there. Clementine does not fail to ensure the promotion of his production in literary salons and among people of good society. But there is still a lack of real recognition for these chocolates of excellence. Fate is going to turn history upside down. In 1900, Edmond Rostand, then at the height of his glory, attended the Vichy opera at a performance of his Cyrano de Bergerac. Clementine wishes to send him a box of his finest chocolates and inquires about the place where he went down. At the Pavillon Sévigné, we reply. Clementine takes the name of her brand: A la Marquise de Sévigné.
