What to read next

The brand came to be in the city of Nantes way back in 1886, where a couple called Jean-Romain Lefèvre and Pauline-Isabelle Utile fell in love over their shared passion for baking and named the company after their surname initials L and U. Over 130 years later it's about time the tasty treats made their way over the Channel.

Le Petit Beurre is based on the first biscuit the pair made, while you may have tried the biscuit, what you might not know is that the design cleverly reflects the calendar year – 4 corner ears for the 4 seasons, 52 teeth for each week of the year and 24 indents for the 24 hours of each day.

Le Petit Chocolat adds a layer of milk chocolate with a school boy design, Le Petit Citron brings a soft texture and delicate lemon flavour and the fourth biscuit launching in the UK is Le Petit Biscotte, a crunchy texture with flavours of brown sugar and cinnamon.
