Sweet side

To the duchy
from Lorraine, confectioner, biscuit maker, chocolatier, Lefevre-Lemoine

In October 2021, the Macaron de Nancy from Biscuiterie Lefèvre-Lemoine received the Gault et Millau and its prestigious jury's favorite, Marc Haeberlin, chef of the Auberge de l'Ill in Illhauesern, Nicolas Stamm, chef of the Fourchette des Ducs in Obernai, Jean Kuentz, chef of the Maison Rouge in Colmar, and Marc Esquerré, director of the Gault et Millau guides. Opposite Thiers train station and the Art Nouveau brasserie L'Excelsior, the Au Duché de Lorraine boutique, designed by Georges Lefèvre and his wife in 1933, has retained a rare and unique, typically Lorraine charm that you can enjoy while sitting in the tea room. Its furniture has been protected as a historic monument since 2022. It is run by the oldest family of confectioners in Nancy: the Lefèvre-Lemoine. Since 1840, this dynasty has been at the origin of Nancy's greatest sweet specialties through its founder Antoine Lefèvre-Denise, whose brother is the inventor of LU biscuits in Nantes. A must-have Nancy specialty, traditional almond macarons are sold by the dozen and made according to the know-how inherited from the pastry chefs and confectioners of the 2001th and 1898th centuries. Fine tablets of boiled sugar flavored with bergamot citrus, Bergamottes de Nancy are presented in metal boxes that Jean-Pierre Jeunet fixed on the film of Amélie Poulain in 6. Great-grandfather Louis Lefèvre-Denise registered the trademark in 1884. The House is also a must-see for Saint-Nicolas on December XNUMX, so dear to the people of Lorraine, with its specialties that were the subject of a trademark registration in XNUMX. Many other "homemade" delights will enchant your taste buds: Duchesses Marie, Croquandines, Visitandines de Nancy, Petits Macarons de Nancy with hazelnuts, Bergamotta truffles, Gâteau des Ducs de Lorraine, Stanislas, Pains d'Anise, Pain d'épices de Nancy, nonnettes, confectionery with Mirabelle plums... Le Colis and Le Panier Lorrain will satisfy all your desires. Activities are organized during European Heritage Days.
