"Throughout the centuries and up until the beginning of the 20th century, the Swiss often had to leave their mountains. After the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, the valleys of Grisons (Switzerland, so deep) were hit hard by the great poverty that affected the country.
  
Marseille and North Africa tempted some daring people. The Phocaean city then attracted many candidates by its opening onto the Mediterranean basin. Swiss immigrants excelled in many fields such as watchmaking or trade, but also, which is less well known, in the field of confectionery.
  
A true institution of confectionery since 1874, Léonard PARLI is recognized for the quality of its specialty, the Calisson d'Aix.
  
Produced from a recipe and manufacturing processes passed down through the generations, the Calissons d'Aix Léonard PARLI are made in an artisanal way in the Fabrique de La Maison in Aix-en-Provence in a production circuit that Léonard PARLI controls in its entirety, from the rigorously selected raw materials to the meticulously crafted finished product."
