Jeff de Bruges

This was the first stop on our mid-​August chocolate rampage through Nice. (Actually, it was our third stop, but the first two places had notes taped to the door — «Closed for vacation. Be back when we feel like it!» Viva la France!!!)
I think Jeff de Bruges is a chain, and in fact, it seems they have several locations in Nice alone, but this is the one WE found. Compared to some other chocolateries we have visited, the display case was a bit small and the selection was not as overwhelming as some others, but I just tasted a sample of our bounty from there (a milk chocolate with caramel filling — which literally just poured out into my mouth when I took a bite. WOW!) and I think we will be pleased with the goodies we bought there. Later in our meanderings, we saw a local with a Jeff de Bruges bag. We took that as a good sign.
As I work through the reviews in this leg of our «confection research,» I suspect I will make several references to my crashing through these interactions with my broken French. In this case, the woman behind the counter was very sweet and helpful. I think she had excellent English, but she seemed to realize I was trying to practice my French and stayed in the game. Of all the chocolate shops we visited that day, she took the prize as friendliest chocolatier of the day. (Though a lovely older man in a subsequent review gave her a good run for that title!)
They also have chocolate bar/​tablets, if you just want to get the goods and run! You have options here. We like that.
