Noz ; A Family Story in Lausanne

The Noz story began more than a century ago with Christian Noz, the great-grandfather. In his workshop in Les Brenets, he made marrons glacés and chocolate. His son, Paul Noz, developed the business and won several gold medals at national exhibitions. Inspired by his ancestors, Nicolas Noz in turn trained in the craft. In 1992, he opened his own shop on Rue Marterey with his wife Anne-Lise. Four years later, the shop was refurbished and the range of chocolates expanded. The house then joined the Spécialistes du chocolat. The Prunoz, a chocolate-filled prune, and the Carac, a gold medallist at the Caracathon, made its reputation.
