Sacré Marcel: French Treats Meets Vintage Art
At My French Recipe, I always look for ways to share a little bit of France with you — whether it’s through our cooking classes in Plano or the gourmet products I carefully select for our shop.
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Sacré Marcel. It’s a brand that feels close to my heart because it combines two things I truly love: French food and art. When I first saw the tins, I felt instantly transported back home to France. And once I tried the chocolates inside… I knew I had to bring them here for you to enjoy too.
This new collection is the result of a partnership between the gourmet team behind Maxim’s de Paris and the creative minds at Marcel Travel Poster, a French company that designs vintage-style posters inspired by towns, landmarks, and landscapes across France. Together, they created a line of treats that are as fun to collect as they are to eat.
A Partnership Between Chocolate and Art
Maxim’s de Paris has been a symbol of French style and gourmet food for over 100 years. Their chocolates and sweets are loved around the world for their rich flavors and Parisian elegance. Marcel Travel Poster is a design brand that creates colorful, vintage-inspired posters. Each one celebrates French culture, cities, and the joy of traveling through France.
When these two teams joined forces, they built something completely new: Sacré Marcel. These collectible tins bring together French sweets and French design in one beautiful package.
What Makes Sacré Marcel Unique?
Sacré Marcel isn’t just chocolate. It’s a full experience that makes you feel like you’re taking a trip through France. Here’s why:
- Collectible tins – Each tin is decorated with vintage-style French artwork, inspired by iconic places and cultural symbols.
- Authentic sweets – Inside, you’ll find chocolates, truffles, cookies, or marshmallow bears made with high-quality ingredients.
- Ready-to-gift packaging – The tins look so beautiful that you don’t even need wrapping paper. They are ready to give for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions.
- Keepsake value – Even after the treats are gone, the tins make wonderful keepsakes you can display or reuse at home.
Why You’ll Love Sacré Marcel
- A taste of France in every bite
- Tins you can collect, reuse, or display
- A gift that feels both playful and elegant
- Affordable luxury that makes any moment feel special
Sacré Marcel combines the French love of food with the French love of art. It’s about enjoying something sweet while also holding onto a little piece of France.
Isabel’s Favorites
When I first discovered Sacré Marcel, a few tins instantly stood out to me. Here are my personal favorites:
- Map of France Gift Box with Mini Chocolate Bars – I love how playful and colorful this one is. The little bars make it easy to share, and the map design feels like a sweet way to “taste” different parts of France.
- Colonne Morris Tin – This one makes me nostalgic for Paris, where I lived before moving to Texas. The design reminds me of the posters I used to see in the streets, and the marshmallow bears inside are such a fun childhood treat.
- Travel Poster Tins – Each one feels like a mini trip around France. I especially love how they bring French culture to life in such a whimsical way.
