In the 18th century, Françoise Chemin was a street singer known by the name of Fanchon la Vieilleuse. She became famous and her character inspired novels, light comedies, and operettas during the 19th century. She was also a source of inspiration for the demoiselles Badie, two sisters who in 1904 bought a chocolate shop that had been built in 1826 in the city of Bordeaux. They created a hard candy and gave it the name of Fanchonnettes to pay tribute to Fanchon la Vieilleuse. The shop was bought in 1942 by madame Cadiot. Today, the candy-shop Cadiot-Badie continues the tradition of making the Fanchonnettes bordelaises.
