Artisan bakery and gastronomy
I discovered the art of baking at the family store, firstly in Normandy, my place of birth, then in the Paris region.
Gontran has the passion of an artist.
I watched the careful techniques, breathed in the aromas and learned everything about traditional expertise, passed on from father to son. I am a 4th generation baker.
I joined the Ferrandi culinary school in Paris and earned a diploma in baking at Grands Moulins de Paris.
This thorough training, traditional expertise and my passion for bread and pastries opened the doors of gourmet establishments (L’Arpège with Alain Passard and Lucas Carton with Alain Senderens).

My travels, my inspirations
Passionate about bread, viennoiseries and pastries, I love to share and exchange ideas about these gourmet dishes.
