These candies took the name of “Grisettes” in tribute to the beautiful, elegant, courteous ladies from Montpellier dressed in grey.
In September 2017, the brand les Grisettes de Montpellier is bought by Lionel Lopez and André Sembelie. Their hope is to bring back these candies and to make them the showcase of the city of Montpellier.
