Because it’s Monday, to wish you all the sweetest week!
Repeat after me, bon-bon (candy). The name bon-bon arose from infantile reduplication of the French word bon, meaning ‘good’. In modern French and several other European languages, the term simply refers to any type of candy or small confection.
If you need choice and quality, just open the ancestral door of the “Mere de Famille” (Family mum (!) ). The best Lollipops, candies, fruit jellies, marzipan, lozenges, licorice, caramels, nougat, candied fruit and calissons of Paris are quietly waiting for you …
And some for those of you who fancy orange .. Here is your weekly dose of energy:
By the way, did you know the power attributed to the color orange? Orange is a mixture of red and yellow and is the color of joy and happiness. It has also been found to be useful in facilitating the digestive process. No wonder those candies are best sellers…
Bon Appetit!

Wow Ms. Estelea! I’m not into too much sweets but your photos make me crave to eat at least once.

Bombom is also the word in Portuguese for chocolate truffle wrapped up in a colorful metallic paper, dear Estelea! What a way to star the week! If I ever visit Paris (I hope it will be in a couple of years), I know the friend to talk to in order to get the best advice. Thanks so much, dear friend, and cheers to you and to your BEAUTIFUL family! 🙂
