Flavigny-sur-Ozerain
Côte-d'Or
A medieval city in Burgundy known for its gastronomic delights
Built around an 8th-century Benedictine abbey, this Burgundian town tells the story of its medieval past through its ramparts, fortified gates, cobbled streets, houses, and inns. It also tells this story through its aniseed-flavoured sugared almonds, which are still made in the old abbey. The scent of these almonds welcomes visitors to the town.

Anis de Flavigny
A Flavigny speciality
Ever since the monks at the abbey first devised the recipe for the ‘little white balls’ in 1591 – a tradition carried on by the Troubat family from the 1920s onwards – it is no exaggeration to say that aniseed sugared almonds are an integral part of village life. With over thirty employees in a village with a population of just over 300, the company Les Anis de Flavigny is the village’s main employer. Its expertise is also recognised by the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (EPV) label, which highlights the excellence of French craftsmanship.
