Fauchon France Paris luxury food store delicacies Place de Madeleine
Fauchon is a luxury food shop in Paris, similar in stature to Fortnum & Mason in London. Fauchon was founded in 1886 by Auguste Fauchon. There are many Fauchon stores in France, as well as worldwide, but the flagship store is located on the place de la Madeleine in the 8e arrondissement of Paris. In in Thomas Harris's book 'Hannibal', the infamous fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, while on a flight from Europe to America, waits until everyone is asleep before producing a Fauchon food parcel of aromatic truffled pate de foie gras and Anatolian figs, as well as a half bottle of St Estephe which Harris says he favours. The box itself is yellow, trimmed with brown and tied with silk bows of complementary colours.
