The historical shop and the small café of Chocolat Villars are located close to the Universty of Pérolles.
Known all over the world, Chocolat Villars is the pride of the people of Friborg. Its iconic chocolates, such as liqueur chocolates in tablet, choco heads or its chocolates "à l'ancienne" are sure to delight the finest gourmet.
In 1901 Wilhelm Kaiser, a 28-year old man from Bern, founded the company Chocolat Villars in Villars-sur-Glâne, in the Canton of Fribourg. An intrepid visionary, the young Wilhelm laid the foundations of the factory, still in use today, as is its artisanal process – chocolate made under one roof from start to finish, from the selection and roasting of the beans to the conching and moulding of the chocolate. An ability to choose his own path, for the benefit of his customers, by refusing to join the cartels of the time. And a constant desire to innovate, with the first liqueur chocolates in 1935. Such was Wilhelm Kaiser, an incorrigible entrepreneur championing Villars, pure Swiss chocolate
The Fribourg factory is included in the list of cultural assets of national importance in the canton of Fribourg.
