A delicious and hear-warming tale

Georges Evrard opens the “Au Pierrot Gourmand” confectionery store in the Marais neighbourhood, in Paris. It’s the beginning of a great adventure!

Based on the success of his candies, he registers the brand “Pierrot Gourmand”. The picture of Pierrot Gourmand, who is sitting on a crescent moon, playful , and hesitating to offer some candies to his crush Columbine, becomes the brand effigy for a long time. It’s the beginning of the great adventure of Pierrot Gourmand! The factory will stay associated to this picture of a dreamy, touching and lunar character.

While its confectionery factory grows with new treats, Georges Evrard sets up its first chocolate factory at Ivry-sur-Seine, in order to meet the growing demand of his customers.

Georges Evrard imagines a new candy, made in a feather-shaped wood mold, and fixed to a Madagascar rattan stick, that allows candy lovers to enjoy a candy without getting fingers sticky...The first lollipop is born!

Made of ceramic or porcelain and hand painted, the famous Pierrot Gourmand bust display invites children and adults to cheerfully choose their favorite lollipop. It has become the symbol of the brand and still delights candy lovers as well as collectors!

During fifties, Pierrot Gourmand has its golden age. The iconic lollipop “PeeGee” so called because of initials P.G. that are engraved, is proposed in several fruity flavors and delights the whole generation.

Pierrot Gourmand grows by being particularly present in neighbourhood stores, in the heart of the tradition and French know-how. Bakeries, gourmet stores, groceries... become the place to be for sweet lovers!

In a hyperactive world where adults and children are over-stimulated and have no time to get bored, Pierrot Gourmand candies offer a delicious break. Some sweet minutes during which time stops, to let your imagination run free, and allow everyone to develop his/her creativity

That’s why, since 1924, Pierrot Gourmand makes sure of always following the original recipe of the legendary caramel lollipop, inherited from Georges Evrard’s know-how. A genuine, simple and gourmet recipe, made from fresh and quality products.

Poured in a traditional cast iron mold and engraved with “P.G.” initials, each lollipop is presented in a pretty paper wrapper decorated with a harlequin design, a poetic nod to Pierrot Gourmand story. Its biodegradable wooden stick and its recyclable paper wrapper confirm the commitment of the brand to protect the environment, for a sweeter future, for all.

And if Pierrot Gourmand recipes have won the heart of several generations, they are today proposed in new flavors, that remind the sweet flavors of childhood, and call adults and children to escape and discover new wonderful universes.
