Nancy


They don’t make sweet shops like this 1840s treasure any more, where a bird chirps a welcome as you enter. One of the old-fashioned sweet tins made a cameo appearance in the film Amélie. Bergamotes de Nancy (bergamot boiled sweets), caramels, nougat, gingerbread, glazed mirabelles (plums) – how ever will you choose?
