I am pretty certain I have seen it described as Paté aux Amandes but as always I am sure it will be called different things in different shops..

Looks like pate d'amande is also used - so that's 3 possibilities.

Make your own, it's easy.
200g ground almonds
200g icing sugar
Melt icing sugar with a sprinkle of liquid , water, orange juice then mix with the almonds. Wrap in foil and leave for an hour.
You can also buy it in the baking section of the supermarket.

I agree with Polarengineer about making your own being easy.
I've only ever seen it sold as pâte d'amandes.

Make your own? Have you seen the price of almonds?
Humanity landed on the moon over fifty years ago but it seems too much to ask for a reliable telephone/internet service in rural France.
