The Petit Beurre, also known as Véritable Petit Beurre (VPB), is a type of shortbread from Nantes, France. The biscuits of the Lefèvre-Utile company are the most commercially successful variety, although its name is not exclusive to LU. It was invented in 1886 by Louis Lefèvre-Utile in the city of Nantes and was inspired by some English products of the time.
