Lei calissoun

The candy diamond is a well-known specialty from Aix en Provence, tradition of the XVth century, based on candied melons, almonds and orange peel. Its shape is recognizable among all, but it’s not enough to look like a calisson to be truly one. There are counterfeits!
These are authentic, made in the Pays d'Aix by a creative confectioner, a calissonnier. He’s know-how is recognized by the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant French label.
There is also a festival dedicated to them: the calissons blessing. Every year at the beginning of September, the Archbishop of Aix en Provence proceeds to the religious ceremony. On this occasion, Provencal people in traditional clothes distribute calissons to the public. It's a great event!
