We discover more than 35 varieties of sweets with subtle and 100% natural flavors of poppy, bergamot, violet, mirabelle, Vosges fir. These sweets are ritually made according to a secret recipe handed down in the Claudepierre family for generations!

The Confiserie Bressaude is an institution in the Vosges landscape. Opened since 1994, the confectionery has a recognized know-how since it is one of the 15 most visited companies in France. During the visits, you will discover the artisanal manufacture of the various products, in the heart of the trade. At the end of the tour, you will go to the shop to stock up on sweets.

It's a temple of greed! Alain Batt has been delighting us for over 40 years. The house offers a beautiful range of chocolates and especially the traditional Bergamotes de Nancy, sugared almonds, nougats, cookies. Currently suspended, the visit of the chocolate factory is a must. For a little more than an hour, some specialties will be made in front of you including the Bergamot de Nancy and the Macaroon de Nancy before tasting. A tasty and friendly moment.

The Perrin confectionery was created in 1950. If at the beginning, the confectionery made was only cooked sugar candies (bergamots, violets, poppies...) and sold to professionals, it opened to the public and knew how to diversify its products since the 1970s. Even today, the main specialities of the company are the jelly confectionery with assorted flavours and mirabelle plums and the bergamots. For those who wish to celebrate an event, the confectionery offers sugared almonds packed in charming boxes and other decorative objects.

A must in the city! Founded in 1850, the Lalonde house owes its creation to Lilig, who notably developed the Nancy bergamot. Albert Lalonde took over the shop in 1901 and created the famous crackers in 1936, then the duchesses of Lorraine in 1950. Over the years, Lalonde's reputation in confectionery, chocolate and pastry-making has been consolidated, thanks in particular to its traditional know-how and the impeccable quality of its products.

Confiserie Delisvosges makes candies with natural products. They are made in an artisanal way with the tools and shapes of the belle époque. You can find the famous candies of the Vosges with honey, fir buds, eucalyptus... There are also other sweets such as caramelized dried fruits, fruit jellies, lemon, raspberry or violet candies... The factory opens its doors to let you discover the evolution of confectionery from 1850 to today. Our favourite flavours can be found in the shop.

Les Douceurs de Rohan will make your life easier! The range of proposals is important. Homemade marshmallows with fruit flavors such as yuzu, citron, but also tiramisu, tonka beans, you'll have trouble deciding! For the fruit pastes, it's the same dilemma... The marshmallows have been coated with an excellent chocolate coating, the chocolate meringues are light and crunchy, and to brighten up your toast or your desserts, opt for the caramel spreads. The merchant site has other sweets that will delight you.

This is where we make the finest dragées, a Verdun specialty created (by chance) in 1220. The factory tour is extremely interesting (audio-guided, 35 min.). You'll learn about all the stages involved in making dragées, before moving on to discover the museum, with its rich collection of objects and archives. You'll finish with the apotheosis: the confectionery, where you'll find the whole catalog: trendy multicolored sugared almonds, all choco, chocolate-coated, shells... Visits and tastings are free all year round.

Chocolates, ice and sugar: Jeff in Bruges, recognised for the quality of his products, excels in these areas. Each boutique, which is recognisable to the turquoise colour, features attractive windows and character. At Thionville, it's the staff from the Maison Martial. The house, founded in 1924, joined Jeff in Bruges in 1997. Conseils and smiling welcome, you can taste the quality of sugar made from the best varieties of almonds (Avola, Princess). And then: how do I resist the assortment of proposed sugar containers, all more cute than others? For future pressés brides, you can order the sugar and their containers online. A must!

Lovers of gourmet delicacies and quality local products, this shop is made for you! Of course, chocolates are in the spotlight, but don't miss the other regional specialities: Bar-le-Duc seeded redcurrant jams, marzipan with artisanal mirabelle plums, multicoloured macaroons, sparkling fruit as well as the unmissable Commercy madeleines! And in the summer, refresh yourself with their delicious home-made ice creams and succumb to the twenty or so flavours that the shop has to offer.

Deliciousness and magic: this is the program of Sorbet Citron (formerly Mr Simms). Here, chocolates, caramels, licorice, marshmallows, jelly beans are in the spotlight, always in the Harry Potter theme. The magic potions made of lemonade, the chocogrenouilles and the surprise sweets remind it, for the connoisseurs. The English sweets and, for the more daring, the chocolates, cakes and cereal bars with insects remain current, as well as the Harry Potter corner with goodies. A store that enchants young and old!

At the Eux chocolate radius we love symphonies with almond paste, tendres ganaches in bergamot or cointreau and orange, douces with sweet spices, emeralds with pistachio and nougats with milk chocolate. In the fruity pastry range you are literally cracking for the Tropik, a sumptuous dessert made of vanilla vanilla and fruits of wood, a mango foam and a mona biscuit. And as the famous house also offers small salty things, so do the right thing and take one of these delicious poultry and morels. To enjoy a race with a yellow wine from the Jura. And die (gently anyway) of pleasure. This is the fetish word of this great craftsman. And by contamination, it becomes ours.

This label celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021 and is intended to protect the Lorraine and French confectionery, because in the 1980s, there was no protection, which left the door open to a lesser quality as for the essences of bergamot incorporated in the various confectioneries, but also possible copies or a non-protection of the heritage. Today, this official label shines beyond our borders and protects the heritage and know-how of our confectioners.
