For two hundred and seventy years - since the reign of Louis XV - the flammes of the home of the apothecary and confectioner Tanrade have been burning to transform the best fruits into jams, syrups, pasta, etc. Balzac, Grimod de la Reynière, Daudet, Proust, among others, will not resist it. They will all express their admiration for the Tanrade house.

            In his famous Almanac des gourmands, edition of the year XII (1804), Grimod de la Reynière wrote:

            "[...] in the new street Le Pelletier. This is where we will find the modest shop of one of the best confiseurs in Paris. Raised in May, Mr. Tanrade was raised by the Duke of Céreste-Brancas, of whom he was head of his office, in May, and so dear to gourmets, that the public has only known him for about three years since he was established. Paid into all parts of the art so difficult, and still so little known, of cooking sugar, familiar with pharmaceutical knowledge, it was mainly used to make syrups, and it brought those of orgeat, silt, capillary, vinegar, marshmallow, etc., to a degree of perfection unknown until now, even in Montpellier. Mr. Tanrade, who combines a lot of modesty with great talent, is no ordinary man. »

            This exceptional talent was perpetuated by the family until 1990. With no descendants, the last Tanrade sought a successor. The very artisanal dimension that had to be preserved was not the financial wealth that made him choose Alain Furet, but rather the human and professional wealth of man.

            Since then, the stoves of the Furet-Tanrade house have revived the flammes of the ancestral recipes, rue de Chabrol, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. Go ahead without fear and ask for advice, Alain Furet will inform you without a priori, as a worthy companion of the Tour de France's Duty.

Alain Furet

As a companion of the Tour de France, I worked in the greatest houses, Le Nôtre d'abord, then Boissier, thanks to whom I was able to set up my own shop.

At the end of the 90s, a happy coincidence brought me into contact with the last representative of the oldest jam maker in Paris, La Maison Tanrade, who gave me his name and passed on his trade secrets.

Je me suis alors lancé dans la fabrication de confitures et grâce au savoir-faire que m’avais transmis Monsieur Tanrade j’ai participé à de nombreux  concours et en ai gagné plusieurs : 3ème place au championnat du Monde champion d’Europe, Champion de France, Prix de l’Europe… J’ai aussi publié chez Hachette « La Magie des confitures » traduits dans plusieurs langues, développé toute une gamme de confitures « politiques » inspirées de nos gouvernants qui m’ont valu de nombreux articles de presse et une belle notoriété dans la profession.

2011 with the fire of my pretty shop on rue de Chabrol saw the end of this prosperous period and my withdrawal to rue des Messageries.

En Septembre 2019, je suis enfin de retour à mon adresse historique rue de Chabrol où je vous accueille avec plein de nouveaux produits et des surprises !
