Gourmandises et Compagnie
Passionate about pastry-making for many years, Mélanie Plantard set up her company "Gourmandises & Compagnie" in 2010.
Initially, she set up a small workshop in her home in the village of Crotenay to make delicious chocolates. After a few years, this successful sideline activity enabled her to make a living from her passion. In 2013, she obtained her pastry diploma (CAP) and that same year made a straw wine nougat that earned her the title of "Chevalier de la Commanderie des Nobles Vins du Jura et du Comté".
Since the end of 2020, the great adventure has continued in Champagnole, in an 80 m² laboratory where Mélanie is expanding her business and devising new recipes. A whole range of tasty confectionery and delicate chocolates with homemade pralines are made by hand on the premises every day: crunchy or melt-in-the-mouth chocolates of all kinds, delicately praline-coated bars, caramels, tendres, calissons, meringues, crunchy sesame biscuits, honey or Savagnin nougats... Not forgetting the unmissable "Nuage Jurassien" and "Chocomallow" - exquisite light marshmallows coated in fine dark or milk chocolate... Enough to tantalise the taste buds!
Mélanie sells her delicacies on Saturday mornings at the Champagnole market. You can also order online, or click and collect your order from the workshop. All these sweet delights are also permanently available in a number of local shops: the Relais du Fumé (Champagnole), the Comptoir des Cascades (Le Frasnois), and the Fournil Censéalien (Censeau).
