The city's emblematic sweet since the 19th century: a hard boiled-sugar pyramid, striped and fruit-flavoured, sold loose by the scoop from confectioners and market stalls around the centre.
The berlingot nantais is a boiled-sugar confection made in the city since the 19th century, when Nantes had the refineries and the confectioners to work cane sugar at scale. It is recognisable by its shape: a four-sided pyramid, cut from a rope of pulled sugar so that each sweet carries a stripe of paler, aerated sugar across a coloured, fruit-flavoured body. It sits alongside the Rigolette, the other surviving Nantes sweet, as evidence of a confectionery trade that was once a serious local industry and is now a handful of specialist shops.
