Saint Simon recorded that Louis XIV enjoyed his favourite “anisse” sweets, even keeping them with him in a special candy purse. Madame de Sévigné (1626-1696), Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764) and the Comtesse de Ségur (1799-1874) all loved Anis de l’Abbaye de Flavigny® – and shared them with their friends.
