Jarry Truffles: The Town’s Signature Treat

I asked my guide if there was a signature food that symbolized the town of Auxerre. She didn’t hesitate, and brought me inside a yellow awning, into a chocolate shop by the name of Jarry, on the main square. Madame Jarry gave us her famous ‘Bourguignottes’ rum and raisin flavored chocolate truffles. You bite down and taste the rum and then the chocolate takes over.

She handed me an elegant red and white bag with one of the cute little boxes all done up with ribbons to take with me.
