Cat's tongues, roudoudous, licorice, berlingots - whatever your favorite candy, there's a confectionery store in Paris to sell it. Here are a few addresses to take you back to childhood and indulge in a little madeleine de Proust after work. Fill your pockets with sweets!
Sophisticated: Candy Paradis
In the 12th arrondissement of Paris, not far from Place de la Nation, a new pastel-toned boutique has just opened. It's Candy Paradis, a pastry shop with fabulous stylized cakes and, above all, a confectionery with over 2,000 candy references. Candy fans, we've found your new HQ.
La chocolatée: A la Mère de Famille
Founded in 1761, A la Mère de Famille is one of the oldest confectioners in Paris. Sweets, chocolates and an authentic atmosphere await you in these stores.
The real thing: Le Bonbon au Palais
Purists beware. At Le Bonbon au Palais, the sweets are either artisanal or not, but also regional. Bayonne marshmallow, Toulouse marshmallow, pralinoisette, jellied mirabelle plum, calisson, Dijon cassissine... In short, a string of quality sweets to be swallowed without delay.
History: The Gold Star
It's hard to decide whether you've come for the confectionery, the store or Denise Acabo, the illustrious chocolatier. Probably all three at the same time. L'Etoile d'Or is one of her Parisian addresses that seems to have always been there. In fact, it dates back to 1903. Today, you'll find homemade sweet treats and a host of other regional and artisanal products.
Scandinavian: Käramell
It's impossible to resist entering Käramell. From the window to the wooden bins lined with sweets, an explosion of color and sugar fills the air. Here, sweets are Scandinavian, like the lady of the house, who knows them inside out.
The original: Papabubble
At Papabubble, you make the sweets - or almost make them! Colors, patterns and flavors can be customized. As a result, you leave the adorable boutique with your hands full of natural, gelatin- and gluten-free sweets and lollipops, all lovingly handcrafted. What more could you ask for?
The traditional Bonbons
Traditional and old-school, welcome to the charming Les Bonbons boutique, just a stone's throw from Montparnasse. Glass candy boxes sit proudly alongside traditional sugared almonds and other all-natural confections.
A must: Confiserie Saint Pierre
The old-fashioned shop front is a harbinger of equally comforting treats. La Confiserie Saint Pierre treats young and old to mouth-watering flavors of yesteryear.
Made in Paris: Fouquet
The Fouquet house of gourmet delights has been tantalizing our taste buds since 1852! From fruit pastes, soft caramels and crystal bark to exceptional honeys and artisanal jams, you'll find everything you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.
And let's not forget... our local bakeries, which are always full of goodies, such as malabars, lollipops and more!
Yummy!
