So when we stumbled upon La Maison Boissier we literally felt like we had landed in a sweet kind of Parisian heaven. Everything about this brand is exquisite and steeped in history. Boissier Paris is an icon of gastronomic France and highly celebrated, having endured nearly two centuries. The house has an iconic reputation as a master confectioner and chocolaterie dating back to 1827 – today, it’s one of Paris’s oldest confectionery shops. Originally founded by Bélissaire Boissier, a passionate entrepreneur driven in the pursuit of his confectionery dreams and the service of excellence, his legacy was so beloved that he became known as the Poet of Delicacies.

Béllisaire’s ingenius creations were an instant success, quickly favoured by the ladies of Paris’s high society. He continued to add to his confectionery repertoire and as good society began to expand to new areas, Béllisaire made the wise decision to open a Bossier on four of the grandest streets in Paris, the Champs-Elysees, Boulevard de Courcelles, Avenue Raymond Poincaré and Avenue Victor Hugo. At these counters carriages would stop out the front allowing Parisians to replenish stock of their favourite treats. The confectioner made such an impression on the Parisian elite (who clearly had a sweet tooth) that the likes of Victor Hugo, Emily Zola and Alexandre Dumas were regular clients. Victor Hugo’s favourite was the Bonbon (Candy Ball), another original creation by Boissier in homage to Paris, which has endured as one of the most loved French candy. He famously penned the words above expressing his love of Boissier’s fine creations.

The legendary status of Maison Boissier continues to delight all ages to this very day. Now with an absolutely divine flagship boutique and a few select retailers across Paris, the story continues in the most beautiful of ways – always respecting and paying homage to the nostalgia of the brand’s rich history. Iconic recipes, passionate and skilled artisans, innate attention to detail and gorgeous packaging adorning the original imagery from the Boissier archives… Maison Boissier is a world of pleasure and beauty – one you simply must discover for yourself!

The French Collective is proudly the first Australian company to import this superbe French confectionery brand and we are very excited to partner with Boissier Paris. We know that you, our fellow Francophiles, are going to adore these sweet treats as much as we do and we can’t wait to share them with you.
