Loc Maria Biscuits

Gavottes produces iconic Breton crêpes dentelles since 1886. Known for crispy, light biscuits available plain, chocolate-enrobed, or filled with gourmet flavors.

Gavottes is a historic French biscuit manufacturer headquartered in Quimper, Brittany, specializing in the production of crêpes dentelles—delicate, crispy lace crepes that have become emblematic of Breton gastronomy. Founded in 1886 by Marie-Catherine Cornic, the company began with an accidental culinary discovery when a crepe was left too long on a traditional billig griddle, resulting in the signature texture that would define the brand.

The company's core product line features the authentic butter crêpes dentelles in multiple variations: plain unsweetened versions, chocolate-coated varieties, filled options with savory and sweet flavors, and innovative presentations like spreads and composite confectionery pieces. Beyond the flagship crêpes dentelle, Gavottes also produces related bakery items including galettes, palets, and specialty biscuits under partner brands Traou Mad and Mademoiselle de Margaux.

Gavottes operates physical retail locations in Quimper and maintains a robust e-commerce platform for direct-to-consumer sales. The company emphasizes artisanal heritage while distributing products through both retail channels and institutional sales programs for schools and associations. Packaging and presentation are integral to the brand identity, with decorative gift boxes and collections prominently featured.
