Pierrot Gourmand: the 100% French confectionery from the Andros group comes to Halloween

For over 130 years, the feather-shaped lollipop from Pierrot Gourmand has been part of France's culinary heritage.

An iconic and innovative brand, today carried by the Andros family group, which combines artisan know-how, 100% French manufacturing and creativity to win over young and old alike.

Bonbonrama, a confectionery wholesaler, has been distributing the Pierrot Gourmand range to its professional customers for many years — and it is precisely because we know the brand so well that we are delighted to announce its latest new product: a 100% Halloween Doypack bag, which completes the classic Pierrot Gourmand Doypack range to form a complete pack of 6 lines, available in bulk packaging to enliven your shelves right up to 31 October.

A French story that has spanned generations

It all began in 1892, when Georges Evrard opened his sweet shop "Au Pierrot Gourmand" in the Marais district of Paris. In 1924, he invented the now-famous feather-shaped lollipop, moulded in a traditional cast-iron mould and mounted on a wooden stick — a recipe that has never changed since. In 1976, the brand experienced a new lease of life: it was acquired by the Andros family group, which established production in the Lot under the name Ger'son Pierrot Gourmand, without ever altering the original recipes devised by Georges Evrard. A new factory subsequently supplemented the production facility in Corrèze. To this day, the Pierrot Gourmand lollipop is crafted using a French beechwood stick and recyclable paper packaging — a commitment to quality and the environment that is part of the brand's DNA.

Andros, a French family group with well-known brands

The general public often associates Andros with its everyday jams and compotes, but the family group — still independent — is also a major player in French confectionery through Pierrot Gourmand.

It is this dual culture — between fruit tradition and sweet indulgence — that allows the brand to combine exacting ingredient standards (natural flavourings, colours from natural sources, no artificial colours or flavourings) with creativity in its formats.

For your customers and your shelves, promoting Pierrot Gourmand means highlighting: 100% French manufacturing, a powerful argument during the Halloween period when made in France remains a reassuring criterion; a brand belonging to a well-known French family group, a guarantee of seriousness and continuity; a traditional know-how of over 130 years, combined with a constant capacity for innovation (new shapes, new ranges, new formats).

The Pierrot Gourmand Doypack range: the format flying off the shelves

Pierrot Gourmand has launched a range of soft sweets packaged in resealable Doypack pouches (freshness zip, 100 g format), designed for retail sale as well as on-the-go consumption.

This range ticks all the boxes expected by professional buyers and end consumers:

• 100% French manufacturing
• Natural flavourings and colours from natural sources
• Gelatine-free: a recipe suitable for vegetarians
• Resealable zip bag: freshness preserved, practical for optimal storage

The soft sweets take on iconic and playful shapes, inspired by symbols of France (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Gallic cockerel, golden croissant) or silhouettes evoking the world of the sky and space (clouds, shooting stars, comets). A treat that is at once nostalgic, colourful and clearly recognisable on the shelf.

The pack of 6 Doypack lines, completed by the new Halloween

At Bonbonrama, the Pierrot Gourmand Doypack range now comes in 6 bags of 100 g, sold in cases of 12 units — packaging designed for our professional customers who buy in bulk.
