The Amandines de Provence from the H. Lalo biscuit factory were almond-shaped wafers filled with a refined-tasting fondant. In 1901, Biscuits Pernot bought the H. Lalo biscuit factory in L'Isle-sur-Sorgues. Pernot would continue to produce the flagship Lalo biscuit, the Amandine de Provence, under its own brand.
The Société Française des Nouvelles Galeries Réunies, founded in 1899, brought together many department stores across France. This was the case for the Grandes Galeries Modernes in Agen and the Galeries Orléanaises in Orléans. This chain of stores would join the Galeries Lafayette Group in 1983. It should be noted that the Galeries Orléanaises belonged to the Paris brothers in 1904.
The year 1931 marked a turning point in the iconographic history of Saint Raphaël with the appearance of the two café waiters in the brand's various creations. These two figures, also called the "Twins," were inspired by two actors: Armand Bernard and Paul Marien, or "Pauley" as he was known on stage: one is red, symbolizing Saint Raphaël Rouge, and the other is white, representing Saint Raphaël Ambré. They bring a unique soul and character to the brand.
