The Petit-Beurre was born in Nantes
Louis Lefèvre-Utile created the LU Petit-Beurre in Nantes in 1886. Its 52 teeth are said to stand for the weeks of the year, its 4 corners for the seasons and its 24 holes for the hours of the day. A fine story, kept alive by the brand, though no document from the period confirms it.
