The famous Betjeman & Barton company, tea merchants in Paris since 1919, have created a tea in honour of their shop in Nancy. A sencha green tea from China enhanced with essential oils: poppy, mirabelle plum, macaron and bergamot orange. A delight for the taste buds! The tea is available at the shop in Nancy where you can also enjoy a tasting.
Boulay macarons have been delighting taste buds since 1854 and are still today shaped using a silver spoon. A moist and light texture with a fine, sweet taste and a delicate aroma of freshly shelled almonds. Can’t make it to Boulay? Have them delivered! The company ships around the world.

The jewel of Lorraine, this little golden fruit is cele-brated every August in Metz with 15 days of festivities: balls, parades, shows, markets and the election of the Mirabelle Queen! Head to the Mirabelle Village on Place d’Armes to taste a delicious tart. Simply divine!
