"As much a tribute to the company's culture and longevity as a practical, instructional cookbook, _ La M_re de Famille is a treat to be savored by anyone who loves sweets, Paris, or both." - Saveur, "Inside this Montmartre gem...wooden coutertops [are] lined with glass jars bursting with sweets, including bon bons, fruit confits, caramels, and cookies. Everything is divided into two categories - les incontournables (roughly, "impossible to ignore"), and nouveautes (novelties) - but all are irrésistible." - from Travel & Leisure, "Inside this Montmartre gem...wooden coutertops [are] lined with glass jars bursting with sweets, including bon bons, fruit confits, caramels, and cookies.

The window display draws shoppers in with its stacks of exquisite tins and boxes of confections. Inside this Montmartre gem, the scene is just as nostalgic: subway tile floors, white-on-blue enamel signs, and wooden countertops lined with glass jars bursting with sweets, including bon bons, fruit confits, caramels, and cookies.
