French luxury and culinary brands have begun unveiling seasonal collections for the latter half of 2026.

In late August, confectionery houses La Maison Cruzilles and François Doucet Confiseur introduced autumn collections. La Maison Cruzilles launched a 100% natural fruit candy range using IGP flavors like Corsican clementine and Burgundy blackcurrant, while François Doucet Confiseur released a collection combining fruit pastes with chocolate to mark its 50th anniversary.

By mid-September, the focus expanded to the 2026 holiday season. Limoges porcelain maker Bernardaud announced a collaboration with Maison Matisse featuring contemporary decorative objects and jewelry. Simultaneously, pastry chefs introduced festive dessert collections, including themed creations such as ‘Noël sous la neige’ and ‘Constellation’, with specific release dates scheduled for December.
