The company, founded by Baptistin Fouque in 1864, still makes nougat using traditional, artisanal methods.
The company, founded by Baptistin Fouque in 1864, still makes nougats, syrups, calissons and cookies using traditional, hand-crafted methods for which it alone has the secret. The store, in the center of Signes, is open from early May to Christmas; and for the curious, the factory can be visited, free of charge, by reservation. Fouque nougats (and what nougats they are!), handmade in century-old cauldrons, are produced only from September to Christmas. They take pride of place among the thirteen desserts.
