Obama Visit

On Feb. 19th 2009, President Barack Obama visited Ottawa and made a quick stop at Le Moulin de Provence to buy a cookie. Ever since, we’ve been creating these same cookies (now appropriately called ”Obama Cookies”), from our special recipe.

These delicious shortbread cookies in the shape of a Maple Leaf, with “Canada” written on them in icing, represent a new era in US-Canada relations.   With the exclamation “I love this Country!”, Obama warmed the hearts of every Canadian on this cold February afternoon, during this historic visit to Ottawa.

"I love this country!" - Barack Obama

Since this day, many tourists from all over the world come to our place to buy it in their turn, or simply to take pictures, and thus also to have a souvenir!
