France's Nigloland teams up with renowned chocolate-maker

(News) Nigloland, a France-based family theme park featuring 37 rides, has teamed up with World Champion Pastry-maker Pascal Caffet to develop chocolate Niglo's, the park's icon.

Caffet has developed three distinct Niglo shaped chocolates combinging the flavors of Venezuela and Ivory Coast cocoa with a touch of white chocolate. The chocolates are also available in lollipop format for adults and children but also in milk chocolate bar with praline.

Founded by two brothers and former fairground operators, Patrice and Philip Gelis, Nigloland opened its doors in 1987. "Niglo" stands for hedgehog in the traditional Gipsy langauge, used by the brothers to reflect their fairground past. The park is divided into four themed areas: the Canadian village, the village of rock'n'roll, the village of Wonders and a Swiss village. Last year the park welcomed half a million visitors.
