French term or phrase: Nos distinctions
I wanted to put 'about us' or 'why we're different' but it is followed by:

Laissez vous tenter par l'incontournable " Error! Reference source not found." apprécié des petits ou des grands, à offrir ou à s'offrir en toute occasion, du rêve, du plaisir, de l'originalité, qui ont valu aux "Raisins dorés ", un premier prix des Spécialités de France.

It's for a website, any ideas?

Explanation:
Hello,

I thought that "distinctions" in a context like this meant "awards."
Things for which we have been honored.

I could be wrong, but that's my understanding.

Explanation:
We're different

The text is bizarre I find unless the "error" part is not what the text actually says. However, be that as it may, if this is a title, and it seems it is, than you need something short and eye-catching and should AVOID using a sentence beginning "what". An English-language copy-writer is unlikely to start a sentence that way and you need something as English-sounding as possible IMO
