Mulot & Petitjean has made pain d'épices at 13 place Bossuet in Dijon since 1796, one of the oldest continuously operating gingerbread houses in Burgundy.
The house's best-known product is the nonnette — a small, round honey cake filled with fruit jam in flavors including raspberry, blackcurrant, and orange — alongside traditional and gourmet loaves of spiced gingerbread. Everything is still made in-house at the Dijon facility. The shop also sells its gingerbread in collectible tins and gift boxes, and offers free shipping within mainland France on larger orders.
The company holds three French quality designations: Producteur Artisan de Qualité, the PME+ label, and Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, France's living-heritage recognition for craft businesses. It also runs a museum and factory tours in Dijon, alongside its retail and online sales.
