Speaking of Francais, "cute package x fruit sweets

First of all, Francais is all about stylish packaging.
When you step into the store, you will be lifted up by the retro and elegant wrapping paper and souvenirs.

It's not just cute.
The sweets at Francais are based on the theme of fruits and berries.

The brand concept is "sweets to enjoy fruits.
The brand concept is "sweets to enjoy fruits", going back to the original style of Western confectionery, which is to put fruits between pies and dough, in pursuit of simple but profound tastes.

The new "Lemon Caramel" pannier for summer is available only at the main store!

The "Lemon Caramel Flavor Pannier" was introduced for a limited time from July 16 to September 15, 2025.
They are completely new, and this time, for the first time, they have a special ice cream topping.

This time, I had it with a set of iced coffee (1,458 yen).

What kind of sweets are panniers?

Pannier" is a sweet with layers of pie dough like a ballet skirt.
To achieve this crispy texture, the traditional French method of reverse folding (feuilletage enversée) is used.
The butter envelops the flour, creating a soft and fluffy texture.

Crispy texture x refreshing lemon cream x rich caramel

The first thing that surprised me was its size. It was bigger than I expected, and I felt satisfied.

The freshly made pie is crispy and light.
This is a privilege of eating in the store. You can't get the crispy texture you can't enjoy when you take it home.

Inside is fresh cream made from raw Hokkaido milk and lemon cream with juice and peel of Setouchi lemons.
The caramel adds a slight richness to the cream, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness.
With each bite, I felt the fresh breeze of summer spreading softly.

The ice cream topping is also a perfect match, and it is luxurious to enjoy the coldness and warmth of the pie at the same time.

Plenty of iced coffee & a great cafe space

The iced coffee in the set is more generous than it looks.
It has just the right amount of bitterness to complement the sweetness of the lemon caramel.

What's more, we were delighted to find that one of the sweets came as a free gift!

The café space is very cute with stained glass and antique interior, creating a relaxing and calm atmosphere.

Great for souvenirs! Reasonably priced and with great taste!

After lunch, I took a look around the store and found that Francais is a treasure trove of souvenirs.

With cute packaging and elegant flavors, and prices starting at around 1,000 yen, they are perfect for "a little thank you" or "a quick visit".
Enjoying them with coffee at home is also a luxury.
