Rigolettes.
This beautiful blue mosaic storefront, from the 1930s, was once Charles Bohu's confectionery. It is located rue de la Marne in Nantes. The "rigolette"is a candy shell filled with a fruit pulp (pineapple, blackcurrant, lemon, raspberry and tangerine). This candy is named after Charles Bohu own cat, Rigolette, itself an homage to the famous Verdi's opera: Rigoletto .
The "rigolettes" were so successful that, in 1930 Charles Bohu could contract the famous Isidore Odorico Italian mosaist to decorate the facade of his shop .
The candy is no longer made here, but the beautiful blue and golden façade has been preserved.
