Point a la Ligne 2010! Collection. French Candles at MadisonAveGifts.com. For more than 30 years, the name Point a la Ligne has been synonymous with extraordinary quality, creativity, and design--earning a worldwide reputation as the "Rolls Royce" of candles. Situated among the vineyards of Bordeaux, France, the Point a la Ligne candle-making shop first opened its doors in 1968 and has been handcrafting exquisitely beautiful wax shapes ever since. Artisans create sketches and then carve the molds. When the perfect shape has been achieved, highest-quality paraffin wax is poured. After the wax has hardened, the candles are hand-painted with intricate details. All-cotton wicks. Collection. All candles burn clean, drip less and smokeless. Paris.
