🌰 In France, chestnuts are street food in paper cones, yet a box of marron glacé from Privas in the Ardèche costs around €100 a kilo. The chestnut is the small part of the price, and the rest is hand work: sewing them into little cotton bags, days in syrup and a final coat of icing. Would you pay that for a Christmas box?
