An artisanal candle is a souvenir from Brittany that is both useful, decorative and emotional. Unlike a classic decorative object, it recreates a complete atmosphere: the sea air, a gourmet kitchen or a winter evening. At Les Fondeurs d'Histoires, each candle also comes with a collector's card that tells its story.

For gifts, gourmet scents almost always work: salted butter caramel, Breton cake, praline. They evoke Breton pleasures and appeal to everyone. If the person enjoys fresher atmospheres, opt for marine notes like La gardienne à damier.

Yes. They are designed, poured and hand-finished in our workshop in Loctudy, in southern Finistère, in the heart of the Pays Bigouden. We work in small batches and each piece is checked before shipping.

We use vegetable wax, selected for its gentle combustion and its good scent diffusion. The fragrances come from Grasse, the historical capital of perfumery, and the wicks are chosen according to the container.

On our online store, at our resellers, and directly at the craft markets and fairs where we are present during the season. Our next dates are listed on the page our points of sale.

Yes, provided it is kept away from direct heat and nestled in clothing to cushion shocks. If you travel light, scented wax melts are an excellent alternative: lighter, less fragile, same scent.

A candle burns with its own flame and diffuses gradually. A wax melt is melted in a burner, without a flame on the scented wax, and diffuses faster and more intensely in a room. Both are available from us with the same Breton scents.

Of course. Our online store delivers everywhere in France and in a large part of Europe. This is even one of the most frequent uses: you discover a scent on holiday, then you reorder it once you return home.
