Somehow it ended up costing over 65 Euros! The sales associate said ours was by far the heaviest she had encountered! We have enough cookies to last us for quite a while! It's not cheap, but it's worth every bite!

This is definitely a must stop when visiting Marseille. The SAs are very friendly and constantly offering whole samples of cookies, chocolates, and candies. Delicious! I think I gained a pound just trying everything! Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. The packaging is equally colorful, whimsical, and oh so French. Plus if you prefer, they wrap each item as a gift. Score! I really enjoyed their variety of nougat, cookies, and marzipan candies. It was tough deciding which flavors to get since they were all so yummy! Apparently the store is doing well and is expanding in the U.S. They currently have a store in NYC, and have plans for SF.

We found the best rose petal candy we've ever had--so good we had to go back for more to bring home with us. The nuts and spice mixes are divine, and we wish we had bought more of those. This store has variety, incredible quality, and friendly and helpful staff. Our limited French was not a problem at all, as staff weighed and priced items for us. With all the cultural riches and culinary delights that Marseilles has to offer, this store is a universe unto itself that must be visited and explored to be appreciated.
