About LU (Lefèvre-Utile):
Lefèvre-Utile, better known as LU, is a renowned French biscuit producer. The name LU is derived from the initials of Lefèvre and Utile, the couple who began biscuit production under this brand in 1887. LU is famous for its wide range of products, including Petit Beurre, TUC, Cracottes, Bastogne, and Prince.

In the late 19th century, the Lefèvre-Utile family started baking waffles and biscuits in Nantes. Their son Louis opened a pastry workshop in 1883, and in 1887 the biscuit factory was established. LU gained international recognition after participating in the 1900 World Fair in Paris.

The Rendez-Vous cookie, with its crispy texture and sugar glaze, holds a special place in LU's history and remains a beloved symbol of French biscuit culture. This vintage tin is a lovely piece of LU's rich tradition and offers a glimpse into the history of the Rendez-Vous cookie.
