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 Rigoletto, Verdi's opera.
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.
