Local delivery in the Pays Bigouden: we bring your candles to your door
Living in the Pays Bigouden, or staying in a holiday home nearby, and fallen for one of our stories? No need to wait for the postman or go and collect your parcel from a pick-up point: we can bring it to you ourselves. Yes, by hand, with a smile thrown in. 🚗
The Pays Bigouden is the area of South Finistère around Pont-l'Abbé, Loctudy, Le Guilvinec and Penmarc'h.
How does it work?
Free, by appointment, at our penty (traditional Breton cottage) in Loctudy. And you can smell all our candles while you're there.
Free delivery around Loctudy: Pont-l'Abbé, Plobannalec-Lesconil and the neighbouring villages.
A small contribution towards fuel, to every corner of the Pays Bigouden.
Order in three steps
- Choose your stories on the website, as with any order.
- At checkout, select local delivery. It appears automatically if your address is within the area.
- We contact you to agree a day and time that suits you, then we drop off your parcel.
Prefer to pop in? Choose collection from the workshop, then book an appointment. We'll welcome you at 48 Stang ar Goff, Loctudy.
Why we do it
From the start, we've loved having a hand in everything: we write the stories, create the visuals, print the labels, pour the candles and prepare every parcel in the workshop. We tell you all about it in Behind the scenes at our workshop. Delivering to you ourselves is simply taking that idea all the way.
It's also simpler for you: no shipping costs, no parcel travelling across France only to come back a few kilometres from where you are, and a real moment of exchange. We always take the opportunity to share our lighting tips, or to tell you about the next story in the making. 🌙
🕯️ Behind the scenes
With every order, we slip in a tips card with a QR code. It takes you to our tips page so you get the first burn right and enjoy your candle down to its last hour.
The gift idea that arrives just in time
Local delivery is perfect for last-minute gifts: a birthday, Mother's Day, a Christmas coming round a bit too fast… Add a personalised engraving inside the lid, and your candle becomes a one-of-a-kind gift. Short of ideas? Our best-sellers are a good place to start, from Nuit bohème to L'Empreinte 1892, by way of our new autumn story, Le Voyage Suspendu.
🎪 Want to smell before you order?
Find us from 16 to 19 October at the Foire Expo du Pays Bigouden (trade fair) in Pont-l'Abbé, or at the workshop by appointment. All our dates are on our where to buy page.
And if you live further away, don't worry: we ship all over France, with free delivery to a Mondial Relay pick-up point from €70 in mainland France (home delivery is charged, and the €70 is calculated after the candle multi-buy discount).
