Some flavours never leave us — not because they’re fancy or rare, but because they remind us of carefree afternoons, school snack breaks, and the comforting routine of childhood.
For many French expats, a simple biscuit can bring back memories of growing up — and at Mon Panier Latin, we know exactly which ones hit the sweet spot.
Back to School, Back to Basics
Remember racing home to grab a goûter before homework? A glass of milk or fruit juice, and a packet of biscuits — that was all it took to feel on top of the world.
Here are some of the iconic French biscuits that made snack time so special (and that you’ll happily find in our shop!):
BN – That Cheeky Smile
The chocolatey king of the playground! Whether you were team choco, vanille, or fraise, those little smiling sandwich biscuits were a goûter classic. Still as tasty today, still bringing smiles.
Prince – The Biscuit with a Crown
With their creamy chocolate centre and crunchy golden shell, Prince biscuits made every snack feel like a royal treat. They’re perfect for lunchboxes or coffee breaks — for kids and grown-ups alike.
Petit Beurre – The Ultimate Comfort Biscuit
Simple, buttery, and gently sweet, the Petit Beurre is as versatile as it is nostalgic. Dunk it in hot chocolate, crush it for a dessert base, or eat it plain — it’s French heritage in a biscuit.
Pim’s – Soft, Fruity, Perfect
A light sponge base, a tangy fruit filling, and a thin layer of dark chocolate on top — Pim’s are the grown-up goûter favourite. Sophisticated, but still sweetly familiar.
Madeleines, Palmiers & More…
Let’s not forget the fluffy madeleines, caramelised palmiers, and coconut Rochers that filled our cupboards and weekend cake tins. You’ll find them all in our “Sweet Treats” selection.
Not Just for Kids…
Whether you’re introducing your children to the biscuits you grew up with, or just craving a bite of nostalgia during a coffee break, our collection is here to reconnect you with taste memories that matter.
Because sometimes, a simple biscuit is all it takes to feel at home again.
