Story.

Launched in 2018 with the ambition of revolutionizing the world of bakery, The French Bastards is unlike any other establishment.

With our bold slogan Maison Fondée Hier ("House Founded Yesterday"), we proudly embrace our desire to shake up the conventions of a craft too often confined to tradition. Here, there is no family legacy—just a relentless drive to forge our own path, reinventing the art of baking every day with a modern, irreverent, and uninhibited spirit.

As we expand from Paris to Lille, we remain true to the essence that has driven us from the very beginning: that of an artisanal neighborhood bakery, where every creation is the result of genuine craftsmanship and uncompromising excellence. While our brand continues to grow, our commitment remains unchanged—to offer each customer a unique gourmet experience, fueled by a passion for quality and a dedication to excellence. It is this balance between expansion and craftsmanship that defines our strength, allowing us to preserve the very soul of local bakeries while sharing our vision with an ever-growing audience.

Our
partners.

Outstanding raw materials.

MOULIN PAUL DUPUIS' FLOURS

Exceptional organic and certified flours, a particular care given to the product and to eating locally, a partner concerned with the traceability of the product and working methods that guarantee food safety. 
What more could we ask for?

ISIGNY-SAINTE-MÈRE’S BUTTER

To make our products even more delicious, we have decided to work with an institution: Isigny-Sainte-Mère PDO butter, a company committed to exceptional quality. Isigny-Sainte-Mère is an independent dairy cooperative. We work alongside producers to ensure the sustainability of the land and environmentally friendly dairy farming methods.

Impact.

At The French Bastards, we believe that bakeries play a crucial role in preserving the environment, promoting sustainable development, and supporting local communities. To this end, we have implemented various initiatives across our network:

  • Daily collection and redistribution of unsold food by partner organizations.
  • Long-standing partnerships with suppliers of organic flour and AOP butter.
  • Option for customers to sponsor breakfasts in-store for Secours Populaire.
  • Regularly updated menus to respect seasonal product availability.
  • Launch of our first Earth Month program in April 2024.
  • Annual CSR scoring by a certified organization (Ecovadis) and assessment of our carbon footprint.
