AU DUCHE DE LORRAINE CONFISEUR BISCUITIER CHOCOLATIER LEFEVRE-LEMOINE

In October 2021, Biscuiterie Lefèvre-Lemoine's Macaron de Nancy received the "Coup de Coeur" award from Gault et Millau and its prestigious panel of judges: Marc Haeberlin, chef at Auberge de l'Ill in Illhauesern, Nicolas Stamm, chef at Fourchette des Ducs in Obernai, Jean Kuentz, chef at Maison Rouge in Colmar, and Marc Esquerré, director of the Gault et Millau guides.
Opposite the Thiers train station and the L'Excelsior Art Nouveau brasserie, the Au Duché de Lorraine boutique, designed by Georges Lefèvre and his wife in 1933, has retained a rare and unique charm typical of Lorraine, which you can savour seated in the tea room. Its furnishings have been protected as historic monuments since 2022. It is run by Nancy's oldest confectionery family: the Lefèvre-Lemoine family.
Since 1840, this dynasty has been behind Nancy's greatest sweet specialties, thanks to its founder Antoine Lefèvre-Denise, whose brother invented LU cookies in Nantes.
A must-have Nancy speciality, traditional almond macaroons are sold by the dozen and made according to the skills inherited from the pastry chefs and confectioners of the 18th and 17th centuries.
Fine tablets of baked sugar scented with bergamot citrus fruit, Bergamottes de Nancy are presented in metal tins that Jean-Pierre Jeunet captured on film in 2001's Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. Great-grandfather Louis Lefèvre-Denise registered the brand in 1898.
The Maison is also a must for Saint-Nicolas celebrations on December 6, so dear to the hearts of Lorraine's inhabitants, with its specialties, for which a trademark was registered in 1884.
Many other "home-made" delights will delight 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'Anis, Pain d'épices de Nancy, nonnettes, mirabelle plum confectionery... Le Colis and Le Panier Lorrain will satisfy your every desire.
Activities are organized during the European Heritage Days.
