Auer

About this audio guide

This guide to Auer in Geneva follows Henri Auer, who opened the family's arcade shop on Rue de Rive in nineteen thirty-nine and invented its signature pave glace not long after. You'll hear how that one cocoa-dusted ganache cube, allegedly shaped after the cobblestones of nearby Place du Molard, spread from this counter to nearly every chocolate shop in the city. Best heard standing at the glass case, looking for the version everyone else has tried to copy.
