The initial idea of this biscuit, sweet and chocolate factory was to rediscover not only the quality of flavour but the sentiments associated with the traditional products of yesteryear.

Created in 1989, La Cure Gourmande now sells traditional biscuits, berlandises (fruit sweets), choupettes (lollies), chocolates, toffee, calissons (almond sweets), nougat, chocolate olives, etc.

La Cure Gourmande also has a magnificent collection of tins and boxes decorated and patinated in the old fashioned style, reviving the traditional packaging of the beginning of the last century.

A warm welcome and free tasting for groups.

In Place du Beffroi, in the historic heart of Aix en Provence, our shop will give you a warm welcome with tasting of traditional biscuits, chocolate olives and calissons. Our hostesses will explain the production methods to you.
