In 2019 PAUL was celebrating its 130 year anniversary, arriving at this impressive milestone via five generations dedicated to creating great-tasting bread. It’s a remarkable story of one family whose belief in traditional, labour-intensive baking methods and insistence on top-quality ingredients have created the largest bakery in France today, and taken the PAUL name to 46 other countries.

PAUL has always been a community bakery, bringing the authentic taste of real French baking to its local customers. Whether they meet at cafes to chat with friends over a coffee and a pastry or take food home to enjoy with friends, PAUL is dedicated to sharing its passion for food with customers all over the world. The recipes for bread, viennoiserie and patisserie have been handed down through the family for over one hundred years. The bakers are true artisans, with years of training.

And now

The creation of around a hundred new products per year; the opening of more and more PAUL le Café and PAUL Express concept stores; the development of Click & Collect and online sales; the creation of a sustainable PAUL French wheat supply chain, in partnership with farmers and millers; the strengthening of our nutritional and environmental commitments – in other words, the story continues. Always with the same ambition: to create moments shared around enjoyable products that are both healthy and of the very best quality.
