"The so-called nouvelle cuisine usually means not enough on your plate and too much on your bill." - Paul Bocuse

"It is our duty to give meaning to the life of future generations by sharing our knowledge and experience; by teaching an appreciation of work well done and a respect for nature, the source of all life; by encouraging the young to venture off the beaten path and avoid complacency by challenging their emotions." - Paul Bocuse

What is a Boulangerie?   A boulangerie is a French bakery, as opposed to a pastry shop. Bakeries must bake their bread on-premises to hold the title of 'boulangerie' in France. While a boulangerie may also sell pâtisseries and viennoiseries, their main trade will be in traditional French breads, such as:

- Baguettes are the most well-known French bread, there are many styles of baguette however all are long and thin.

- Pain de campagne is a thick-crusted loaf baked with a combination of flours - perfect for eating with soups and stews.
