A charming gift from France, this pretty tin box is filled with refined cookies made with pure and natural ingredients from Brittany. Delightful with coffee, tea or just by themselves, the 16 biscuits are wrapped 2 by 2 and packaged in a metal box on which there is a fine reproduction of “La Sieste” (1892) by Paul Gauguin. Tin measures 5.11''L x 3.54''W x 2.16''H. (4.58 oz)

The “Galettes de Pont-Aven” are one of the delicious specialties from Brittany and have been made by the biscuit-maker Traou Mad in Pont-Aven since 1920. Pont-Aven is a small town in Brittany, famous for attracting many artists in the 19th century like Paul Gauguin, the Post-Impressionist artist. Gauguin (1848-1903) arrived in Pont-Aven in 1886 and painted “La Ronde des petites bretonnes” in 1888, a famous painting that the biscuit-maker used as his logo. The reproduction on the tin box holding the” Galettes” is called “La Sieste” (the Midday Nap) and was painted by Gauguin in 1892 while he was living in Tahiti.

Ingredients: wholewheat flour, butter, sugar, eggs.
