    This is a home to a Chocolatière, set outside of Lyon, well thought out and beautiful settings. We love the trees, and whole hotel experience. Wish we could stay longer!

Karen
Karen Chocolat is an epicurean who wanted to share her passion of chocolate in a place of conviviality and well-being… Pleasure, authenticity, and sharing is what sums up this unusual place, located in Limonest in a wooded area, 15 minutes from Lyon. Karen Chocolat welcomes you into her elegant wood frame house and will accommodate you in one of her 5 gourmand decorated rooms, she’ll also prepare a homemade breakfast which only she has the secret and will offer you to unwind in the hammam, the garden or the outdoor pool. And why not even book a treatment or a chocolate massage?
Karen Bonnet, passionate and graduated chocolate maker! At almost 40 years old, I needed to find meaning in what I was doing, and operate an aptitude for culinary and artistic activities. Therefore, after 15 years of business and marketing experience in American multinationals (Colgate Palmolive, Kimberly-Clark, Pepsico France), I decided to start over with a blank page and with the help of my husband, I worked on this concept around my values: authenticity, conviviality and pleasure.
The tranquility of this contemporary house located at the end of a hiking trail in the heart of a wooded area, is coveted… During warm days, flower beds and fragrant herbs illuminate and perfume the place. The pool and terrace are ideal for idleness… And you are only 1km from the center of Limonest and 15 minutes from Lyon!
