Tain L'Hermitage

Accessible in no time from Lyon, this French city certainly deserves its name in this list. Why? It is the home of famous chocolate firm called Valrhona. The main chocolate destination here is the Valrhona Ecole du Grand Chocolat, a school where the caterers, chefs, and chocolatiers are trained well to form tempting chocolate recipes. Further, it also offers a three day course to impart knowledge to the laymen about how to make cool deserts. Check out their Web site for these ideal recipes.
