[Mini Content] Sweets that touch history

A wooden box with gold raffia and a wax seal.
The quaint atmosphere gives you a sense of history.

These sweets are from Montbozon, a small town in the Franche-Comté region of France, and are called "Biscuits de Montbozon."

The history of Biscuits de Montbozon is long, and it is said that it began in 1789 during the French Revolution when the pastry chef of the Palace of Versailles, King Louis XVI, took refuge in this small village and passed on his precious recipe.

This later became "King's Dessert, King of Desserts" and has been passed down to the present day.

The biscuit dough is squeezed into finger shapes and sprinkled with powdered sugar before baking, and while they are still hot, two pieces stick together to form one biscuit.

The scent is specially blended with bergamot and orange blossom water.
There's even a soft French aftertaste that I've never experienced in Japan.

Currently, Lacson and the owner, Lanternier, have been doing business together for five years.
It seems that Lacson's representative also visited the site several times and toured the workshop.

I would love to go too!

It seems like my trip to France is still on hold for now, but as soon as I take a bite of this biscuit, I immediately think of France.

How about pairing it with chocolat chaud (hot chocolate), perfect for this time of year, to feel like Marie Antoinette?

Enjoy it as if you were traveling.
