La Ciergerie des Prémontrés, who or what is it?
In the heart of Tarascon in Provence, the legacy of candle-making craftsmanship thrives at La Ciergerie des Prémontrés, the last traditional French candle factory in France. Established in 1858, this venerable institution stands as a beacon of heritage and artistry, dedicated to the meticulous art of creating handmade candles using ancestral techniques. Nestled amidst the idyllic landscapes of Provence, this French Living Heritage Brand has captured the essence of timeless elegance in every candle it produces.
Embracing Tradition: The Essence of La Ciergerie des Prémontrés
At La Ciergerie des Prémontrés, each candle is a testament to the artisanal expertise honed over generations. Handcrafted with utmost precision, these candles exude a charm that mass-produced alternatives can never replicate. The hallmark of these candles lies in their uniqueness. Being handmade, they bear subtle variations in colour, size, and regularity of manufacture, rendering each candle a distinctive work of art.
Unveiling the Allure of Handmade Excellence
What sets La Ciergerie des Prémontrés apart is its exceptional wax density a result of the traditional methods employed in their creation. Unlike industrial counterparts, these candles boast a lifespan that is three to five times longer, casting a luminous and vibrant light that captivates the senses. The secret behind their pastel shades lies in the meticulous process; colour pigments are delicately sprinkled into the molten wax, creating a mesmerizing dance of hues. The result is a candle that, not only illuminates your space, but also elevates it with its artistic brilliance.
