About this audio guide
This guide to the chocolate shop on Rue du Rhône in Geneva traces a business built in eighteen seventy-five by a chocolatier named Pertuiset, whose truffles soon reached tables from Winston Churchill to Grace Kelly. It follows what happened as the company itself changed hands again and again over the next century and a half, and why its recipes have been guarded more closely than its profits. Listen at the counter for what that century of buyers actually paid for.
