About the Artisans:
I’m thrilled to bring Le Roy René, a family-run confectionery from Aix-en-Provence, to the Netherlands. After visiting their factory and Calisson Museum, I was struck by their dedication to quality—using exceptional raw ingredients and time-honored methods to craft nougats, calissons, and other Provençal delights.
Founded in 1920, Le Roy René has spent over a century perfecting these treats while championing sustainability—reviving almond farming in Provence, supporting biodiversity, and protecting local wildlife.
