"Created by Francis Miot and SG Sender (the “Monsieur Pâtissier” of Gaston Lenôtre), Les Coucougnettes are artisanal sweets made in Pau.
 
 
They were conceived in honour of King Henry IV, historically said to have had 57 mistresses and 24 children.
 
 
The name “coucougnette” playfully evokes life’s pleasures: to give a “coucougne” means to cuddle, pamper, or spoil someone—a “moment of love,” in two words.
 
 
These confections are therefore a cheeky, indulgent tribute to the beloved King Henry IV, also known as the “Vert Galant.”
