A new production area

Just a few hundred meters from its historic headquarters and roasting store, Grain de Sail will be inaugurating its new chocolate factory in Morlaix in autumn 2021. Built to replace its former chocolate factory in Lanmeur, now too small, this new 2500 m² facility will enable the company to multiply its production capacity by a factor of 3!
Sustainable development being at the heart of Grain de Sail’s values, this new chocolate factory has been designed to be energy-optimized with photovoltaic panels and thermal energy recovery systems to reduce the building’s overall consumption.

trail of curiosities

In addition to its production workshop and adjoining boutique, the new building will feature a 250 m² curiosity trail where visitors can venture to (re)discover the world of Grain de Sail and learn more about chocolate production, from bean to bar, in an exotic atmosphere and unique setting, all part of a self-guided tour.
