Le Panier Francais is focused on providing an online French grocery store that offers authentic, directly imported French goods, from canned meats to sweets, spices and beautiful tablecloths and kitchen towels from Provence. They continue to look for more products to include on the site.

French candies and sweets include those from Toulouse, which use violet flowers harvested in winter and early spring, because the emblem of the city is violet. These flowers are coated with sugar and then crystallized. But it should be noted that genuine “violet de Toulouse” confectionery are colored blue and not mauve.

Another distinctive French candy is the calisson, which is the culinary pride of Aix-en-Provence. It is shaped like an almond and made from unleavened bread, a yellow paste made from almond powder, sugar, and candied melon. And it is coated with a thin egg icing.

Still another unique French candy is the Anise from Flavigny. It was said that King Louis XIV always had a box of Anise in his pocket. These are white and oval candies that are made from a green anise seed that is coated with a flavored sugar syrup. It was concocted by Benedictine monks in 719 and has been made in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain in Burgundy since the eighth century. These candies are still being produced by the Troubat house in the original abbey.

Meanwhile, candied chestnuts are available in Ardeche all year round but in other places in France, these are primarily eaten during the Christmas and New Year holidays. These are made from the fruit of the chestnut tree and are candied for several days in various kinds of sugar syrups and then glazed with icing sugar.

And then there are the Lyon cocoons that were first made after the Second World War because Edouard Herriot, the mayor of Lyon and previous president of the Republic, had observed that the city is not noted for having a confectionery despite being known for its gastronomy. The mayor organized a competition of pastry chefs and one of them came up with a silkworm-shaped candy to denote that Lyon was once a silk capital from the 17th to 19th century. The cocoon candy is a marzipan sheath that is filled with a praline composed of orange, hazelnut and curacao liqueur.

There are many more unique French candies and these are available in the Le Panier Francais grocery store. These include the Maisson Boissier Mini Pates de Fruits; Maison Boissier Assortment Dragees; Maison Boissier Assortment Candies, such as citrus balls, flower balls and fruits balls; Cemoi French Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Bear; Chabert and Guillot Nougat Tender; and Corsiglia French Candied Chestnuts.
