Welcome to the chocolate factory!
A gourmet visit full of traditions
Among the most popular chocolateries in Quebec, the Chocolaterie des Pères de Mistassini opens its doors to offer an experience rich in flavors and discoveries. Immerse yourself in our chocolate world through our Économusée, a member of the Société des économusées, and savor the artisanal expertise of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.
A self-paced chocolate factory visit
Explore our space freely with the help of interpretive panels and our touch screen, which lets you experience the chocolate factory virtually. Complete the thematic trail and try to win, at the end of the summer, a mountain of chocolate! Plan a picnic and enjoy our area with pergolas. Children can have fun with on-site games, for a delightful and friendly family moment.

Our store welcomes you with its unique creations, some of which are available exclusively on site. Also discover a selection of regional products to extend the gourmet experience and take a piece of Lac-Saint-Jean traditions home with you.
