Which specialty candy's old tin does Amélie Poulain find behind the tile in her bathroom?

I can't be sure, but Poulain (the main character's name, played by Audrey Tatou) is also one of the oldest chocolate companies in France and was bought by Cadbury's in 1988. Could that be the brand on the tin? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolat_Poulain Oct 18 10, 2:41 AM

That's a good guess, but it's not correct. It would've been a good brand though! I wonder if Amélie's last name was due to her youth and innocence: "poulain" in English means "foal". There is an internet reference on this question btw. Oct 18 10, 7:34 AM

Aaah, I found a film excerpt that showed Amélie finding the tin, and read it off the tin itself. It's Bergamote de Nancy. :) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergamote_de_Nancy http://www.squidoo.com/TheFabulousLifeOfAmeliePoulin Oct 18 10, 9:04 AM

Bergamottes de Nancy is correct, Good Job :-) Nancy is where director Jean-Pierre Jeunet grew up. Internet reference: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%A9lie_Poulain#Autour_du_film_2 Oct 18 10, 6:40 PM
