Le cocon de Lyon

Cocon de Lyon

In the year 1466, the King of France, Louis XI, ordered the establishment of silk mills in his city of Lyon. Since then, thanks to this unique craftsmanship and the influence of numerous artists over the centuries, the 'Lyonnais style' has continued to shine throughout the world and the greatest courts, responding to exceptional orders from Madame de Pompadour or Louis XV.

Created in 1952 at the request of the Mayor of Lyon by the Best Craftsman of France Jean Auberger, the 'Cocon de Lyon' was the first Lyonnais specialty to pay tribute to the work of silk workers on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, the 'canuts', as well as to Lyonnais gastronomy.

Under a sparkling coating of fine candy sugar crystals whose shape evokes the cocoon of the silkworm, discover the unique flavor of the 'Cocon de Lyon': a combination of tender almond paste and a melting heart of pure hazelnut praline, candied orange peels, and Curaçao.
