Charle has a pretty decent selection of chocolate turffles and french macarons. The chocolates were pretty good, made with a good dark chocolate couverture (I only wanted dark chocolate truffles, since I’m not a huge fan of sweet milk chocolate). The praline-​based truffles were a little dense and crumbly, although they still had a good flavor.
But the macarons were the best ones I’ve had in Lille. The perfect proportion of cookie to ganache, a nice balance of chewiness, crunch, and creaminess, and good flavors like carambar and nutella. The only thing that wasn’t perfect were the fruity macaron flavors, whose filling was a little too creamy and sweet for my liking. I would have liked the consistency to be a little thicker, but I still really enjoyed them– in fact, I ate all 6 of my macarons in one sitting!
