Our history

Having been immersed in the world of baking and pastry-making from an early age, with his aunt and uncle, craftsmen in the town of Le Mans, Christian had little chance of escaping bread and pastry. 

Choosing a future profession was therefore not a question. Christian naturally opted for a bakery apprenticeship, which he then perfected with a CAP in pastry-making and a year's additional training.

With his diploma in hand, he spent a year and a half with his apprenticeship master before moving to Rennes to work for a well-known bakery: Augustin. 

Two years later, he was tempted to discover restaurant pastry-making, to rub shoulders with the elite of the profession.

He started out in a "bistro-nomique" establishment in the city, where after a few months, the chef advised him to move to a larger establishment to enrich his career. 

In 2010, he joined Jean-Marc Bonzeau at La Villa Madie in Cassis, taking his first steps into the world of Michelin-starred gastronomy. After a few years in prestigious restaurants, he became Pastry Chef at La Voile under the guidance of Chef Eric Canino 2* Michelin .

When his son was born, Christian longed for a new life that would enable him to reconcile family and professional life. That's when Théo and Christian came up with the idea of opening a boutique in their own image in Strasbourg, the hometown of Christian's partner.

Christian and Théo share the same vision: to use seasonal produce from organic farming, while favoring short distribution channels, in order to offer creations that are as beautiful visually as they are tasty.

After a few months working on their project, they finally identified the ideal location at 2 place Clément in Strasbourg: a welcoming space and a perfect team to rely on.

Which name to choose? In memory of Christian's father, the choice quickly fell on his favorite dessert.
