Famous for the quality of its confectionary products, Pierrot Gourmand has always used natural products and are masters in aromas and fruit processing. Georges Evrard of Paris started his Pierrot Gourmand confectionary company at age 19, in 1899 when he registered the brand name.
In 1924 he invented the first lollipop: barley sugar scented and colored in a spearhead shape on a wooden stick, which made it possible to enjoy without getting the fingers messy. Pierrot Gourmand lollipops were once a fixture in every boulangerie (French for bakery) in France, where they beckoned children from their display in a porcelain bust of the clown Pierrot. The clown character was based on a painting by Antoine Watteau (1684–1721) titled "Pierrot". Pierrot or Pedrolino,"
