Confiserie Despinoy is the traditional confectioner of the famous bêtises de Cambrai in Fontaine-Notre-Dame.

Here's one of the confectioners who makes the famous bêtises de Cambrai by hand. As a reminder, these candies are said to have originated from a mistake made by an apprentice confectioner in the 19th century. The wrong amount of sugar and mint, the inadvertent introduction of air into the dough... the bêtises were born. Despinoy produces 140 tonnes of bêtises a year, with mint and fruit. Despinoy also makes bêtise syrup and a digestive, crème de bêtise. You'll be greeted by a candy before setting off on a tour of the production process.

Une belle visite ce matin avec mon fils, nous avons adoré découvrir la fabrication des bêtises de façon artisanale, avec un patron passionné par ses bêtises.... Qui nous fait déguster les bêtises encore chaudes
Une petite boutique, la vendeuse est agréable, avec des produits sympa où on y retrouve toutes les bêtises a prix abordable ????
Encore merci pour votre accueil et le partage de votre savoir faire ????
A bientôt
