Leonidas Villefranche-sur-Saône brings the Belgian chocolate tradition of Leonidas, established in 1913, to the heart of Villefranche-sur-Saône. This independently operated franchise is run by Pascal, Carolle and Romane, who have welcomed customers to its boutique and tearoom since March 2024. The chocolates are made in Belgium by Leonidas chocolatiers using carefully selected cocoa and pure cocoa butter. The range includes more than 120 pralines, from smooth caramels and rich ganaches to crunchy pralines, made without palm oil. Customers can explore individual favourites and assorted ballotins in several sizes, with Click & Collect available.

The shop also serves as a welcoming tearoom, offering pastries, artisan macarons, hot chocolate, lattes and other treats to enjoy in store or take away. For businesses, works councils, associations and local organisations, Leonidas Villefranche provides chocolate gifts and group-order options for celebrations, events and corporate occasions, with professional selections and pricing. Customers can also join the Club Chocolates Café for purchase points, member offers, advance news of new products and exclusive tastings.
