A Fashionable Delicacy from Versailles
THE GLORY OF FRANCE WRAPPED UP IN A SEASONAL DELICACY THAT SETS PEOPLE ABUZZ.
Whether it’s Fauchon, Hédiard, Ladurée, La Maison du Chocolat or any other patisserie or chocolate shop in France, when the holiday season approaches, all of them have one thing on their minds: the chestnut. No other nut enjoys the same status; it is the one nut that has been transformed into a delicacy and hailed as the “marron glacé,” or glazed chestnut.
