Cruzilles, Confectionery store in Clermont-Ferrand, France
Cruzilles is a confectionery store in Clermont-Ferrand that has been making fruit candies, jams, and candied fruits since 1880. The shop operates as a factory outlet on Avenue Jean Mermoz, where the products are prepared on site by skilled workers using recipes passed down over generations.
Cruzilles was founded in Clermont-Ferrand in 1880, making it one of the oldest confectioneries in the Auvergne region. Over the decades it held on to its original recipes while gradually introducing new creations alongside the traditional ones.
Cruzilles is known for its fruit jellies from the Auvergne region, small soft candies that come in a range of fruit flavors. Visitors can pick individual pieces to fill their own box, which makes the experience feel personal and unhurried.
The store is on Avenue Jean Mermoz and is easy to reach by car, with parking available for both cars and buses. It is fully accessible for wheelchair users, with wide doors, level floors, and a drop-off area right at the entrance.
Cruzilles holds the EPV label, a distinction awarded by the French government to companies that maintain rare craft skills and high production standards. Only a small number of makers in France carry this label, which sets the store apart from most sweet shops.
