Since its creation in 1886 in Paris, FAUCHON has been sharing culinary excellence in the French style and around the world. With a taste for the rare and the unique, the brand combines fantasy, audacity and creativity.
It all began in the early 1880s. Coming straight from Calvados, Auguste Félix Fauchon began his career as an apprentice at Félix Potin, before joining the Madeleine market in 1885 where, with his four-season car, he offered fruit and vegetables from the best orchards and vegetable gardens in France.
A year later, he opened his first grocery shop specialising in French products on the Place de la Madeleine.
