Chocolat Bonnat's history stems back to 1884, when Félix Bonnat first opened his doors at 8 cours Sénozan in Voiron, a Bonnat Shoptown in the French Alps in the southwest of France, about an hour northwest of Grenoble. Félix's two sons, Armand and Gaston, began to help with business operations soon after, and in 1956, scion Raymond Bonnat, with his wife Nicole, took full control of the firm. Formally schooled in business as well as chocolate, Raymond guided the company to exponential growth. Now four generations strong, Bonnat is run by two of Raymond and Nicole's four children, Cécile and Stéphane.
