🇫🇷 La Belle-Iloise: French know-how since 1932
Established in Quiberon for almost a century, La Belle-Iloise is an institution of French gastronomy.
Founded in 1932, this family-run cannery prepares its sardines by hand: each fish is carefully trimmed, boxed and covered in high-quality olive oil.
No machine replaces the artisanal gesture, passed down from generation to generation.
The result? Sardines that mature with age, like a fine wine, and which recall holidays on the Breton coast with every bite.
In Germany, these products are almost impossible to find in supermarkets: that's why Le Cornichon brings them to you directly from France.
💙 Why the French in Germany love it

It's the taste of summer, of the Saturday morning market, of salted butter toast and freshly squeezed lemon.
