    • Niniches, authentic handcrafted soft lollipops, have been a staple of Les Sables-d'Olonne since the 1970s. Made using traditional methods, these famous sweets appeal to all generations with their soft texture, vibrant colors, and delicious flavors. Presented on their wooden sticks and carefully hand-wrapped, Niniches instantly evoke childhood memories, seaside holidays, and simple pleasures. Niniches are a testament to the meticulous work of the confectioners.

    A true Proustian moment (well, a sand dune bug, anyway), and an incredible team that allowed us to relive a real childhood memory. My sister and I were able to "shoot" a sand dune bug. A little girl's dream come true thanks to a lovely and smiling team. Thank you all, and we'll be back very soon!

    Admittedly, it's still a bit pricey for ice cream, especially for a family. But the service was very good nonetheless.

    We didn't leave any scraps for the seagulls on the lookout. Too good, too bad for them. Can't wait to go back to enjoy a delicious chocolate waffle.

    Very disappointing experience. No Hello, No Smiles, Cold Welcoming. We order chichis: they are rolled in sugar with bare hands, whereas the person had just cashed another customer two minutes before...
