Le Bonbon au Palais

Kids and kids-at-heart will adore this sugar-fuelled tour de France. The school-geography-themed boutique stocks rainbows of artisanal sweets from around the country. Old-fashioned glass jars brim with treats like calissons (diamond-shaped, icing-sugar-topped ground fruit and almonds from Aix-en-Provence), rigolettes (fruit-filled pillows from Nantes), berlingots (striped, triangular boiled sweets from Carpentras and elsewhere) and papalines (herbal liqueur-filled pink-chocolate balls from Avignon).
