Does it have to be made in France? Because this actually seems to be an Italian speciality item. If you don't mind it coming from Italy, you can get it on Amazon - $14.99 a jar!! I hope it is good stuff at that price..

"Autmommy" is right I am a former chef and they produce it in Italy, germany, France and Spain. If you have a specialty store that sells those type of foods, you may have to buy just the sweetened chestnut paste, and what you do is open the tin, a lightly warm the mixture in the microwave, if your friend is adding flavours or liqour this is the best time, beat it smooth even a bit of icing sugar and vanilla is fine, then fold in a bout 2 cups of fresh whipped cream, packaged like Dream Whip or liquid like Rich's and even a regular tub of Cool Whip is fine.
We had a device to squeeze it threw, and make mounds, that is why the name for it in french is "Mont Blanc" after the highest French Alp. If you can also find glazed chestnuts known as marron glazee, they are a nice decoration.
