Les Bougies de Charroux

Les Bougies de Charroux is an artisanal scented and decorative candle brand whose story began in 2007 in Charroux, a medieval village in Auvergne classified among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. It was founded by Joëlle and Jean-Paul Corgnet, a former schoolteacher and computer engineer who left the Paris region to settle in Auvergne. The brand describes its candles as handcrafted, using Grasse fragrance, RAL-certified candles and 100% cotton wicks, and operates 45 boutiques in France and Belgium. Its Myrtille scent, created at the request of friends who ran a campsite called Les Myrtilles, became its best-seller and emblem.

The story of Les Bougies de Charroux began in 2007 in Charroux, a medieval village in Auvergne classified among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. It was founded by Joëlle and Jean-Paul Corgnet, a passionate schoolteacher and a computer engineer who, after careers in the Paris region and an experience running a campsite, decided to move to Auvergne and launch into the art of scented candles. The brand's Myrtille candle originated from a request by close friends of the founders who ran a campsite called Les Myrtilles and wanted a scented candle in their image; Joëlle worked with perfumers to create the scent, which became one of the brand's most emblematic candles, its best-seller and emblem.
