Biscuits Fossier
Maison Fossier
A long-established Reims pink-biscuit shop founded in 1756, whose crisp biscuits for dipping in Champagne are an essential souvenir.
Reims pink biscuits (Biscuit rose de Reims) originated in the late 17th century. They were first baked a second time to make use of the residual heat of bread ovens, and later colored with carmine. Fossier is the oldest surviving biscuit brand. Its city-center shop sells pink biscuits, Reims gingerbread, and Champagne truffle chocolates, and locals like to dip the biscuits in Champagne or coffee. The city-center shop is about a five-minute walk from the cathedral, and the suburban factory has its own shop.
