If you are a fan, you will know that Coeur d'Coeurs is the hometown of Ned and Charlotte "Chuck" Charles on Pushing Daisies
- What does it mean?
Apparently the show made a mistake writing the town's name, as the correct spelling is Coeur des Coeurs , which means: ‘heart of hearts’ or the depths of one’s conscience or emotions.

THE ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE
This anatomically curious but firmly established expression is a variant of the older and more comprehensible heart of heart, meaning very centre of the heart, which was coined by the English poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616) in The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke (between 1599 and 1602); Hamlet says to his friend Horatio:
(Quarto 2, 1604)
Giue me that man
That is not passions slaue, and I will weare him
In my harts core, I [= ay] in my hart of hart
As I doe thee.
Coeur d'Coeurs: The meaning this name takes in the show
Ned leaves his town under tragic circumstances, which are so life-changing and traumatic that he never wants to go back. The only reason he could go back there is if his unofficial work partnerships take him there, if it's absolutely imperative for him to be there, and that's exactly what happens.
Hearts of Hearts is closely connected with what Ned feels about his past, what is inside his heart, and what is so private that not even the 2 closes people in his life, Olive Snook and Emerson Cod, have any idea of the secrets he keeps.
Coeur d'Coeurs (without the "des", which is grammatically correct) is not only the home of Ned and Chuck, it signifies so much more to him. This town is where:
- The piemaker gets his " gift " and uses it for the first time
- He meets and loses his first love
- His family life changed forever ( Losing his parents in different ways)
- He inadvertently brings someone back to life and kills someone for the first time
His childhood is suddenly all about loss and change.
