Testimonial
Since my father and grandfather were both millers, I grew up in this environment. As a child, I remember my father telling me about his workday. When I was about 15, my father went into production, which meant a different kind of expertise and new skills.
After completing my business studies, it was obvious for me to continue in the bread sector. We have worked with my father to set up Ateliers du Pain together and, most importantly, to bring new ideas to the market. This has led to the creation of our Twisted Baguette and Courti Baguette, which are unique with their long fermentation time.
