The Grande Fabrique Léonard Parli is in the business centre of Aix-en-Provence. Here, the authenticity of the Maison Parli is kept alive, but combined with a modern and dynamic image at the same time.
The secret of the unique flavour of 'calissons' lies in the traditional craftsmanship and top-quality ingredients used to make them.
This expertise and excellence has been passed through the generations since 1874, and the secrets have been carried with them, to respect traditions.
