It is a boutique of charm reminiscent of the confectioner of yesteryear who keep a bit of the apothecary, where one comes with relish, a smile to the lips of what awaits us, doubled from a feeling vaguely guilty of a child caught in a blatant offence of gourmandise. Between the dark woodwork, the shelves are full of discoveries, chocolates, candies and other delicacies for coloured, design or old-fashioned packages. Behind the counter, the shelving of transparent jars allows to buy by weight all kinds of sweets, gelled candy to bêtises Bêtises, by caramels of Guérande, sweet or savoury liquorice or chocolates.
