PAUL®, founded in 1889, now has a network of 240 top quality bakeries and pastry-makers throughout France, offering a selection of country-style and fancy bread, viennoiserie (croissants, etc.) pastries, cakes and desserts, snacks and sandwiches (made to order) to more than 5 million customers every month.

PAUL® cafés offer a French style of meals: savory and sweet pastries, a selection of French pancakes, simple dishes and a selection of salads, soups and sandwiches, all prepared on the premises. The perfect stop for a lunchtime break.

All of the products offered by PAUL® are prepared to the same high standards which have made French bread famous the world over. What is the secret ingredient of PAUL®'s success? A respect for tradition.

PAUL® shops are designed like old-fashioned bakeries to evoke this tradition which has never died. In fact, bread is still prepared and cooked in full view of the customers.

The old-fashioned, country-style decoration of the shops is symbolic of the importance that PAUL® attributes in all that they bake to genuine, timeless values.

This may be slightly unfashionable in today's modern world, but for PAUL® it represents a conscious and constant commitment to the quality of good bread.

Making bread chez PAUL® still uses the classic method. It takes nearly seven hours to make most of the bread, so as to guarantee the quality of its taste.

PAUL® is proud to admit that, for them, over 114 years of tradition are worth more than being "fashionable".
