Foucade Paris: the first “positive pastry store” opens in Paris

You may have noticed it but “gluten-free” diets are more and more important in our lives. Even some top pastry chefs try their hands to it.

Today, a brand-new gourmet place combining pleasure and health sets up in the French capital.Foucade Paris, the young brand launched a few months ago by Marjorie Foucade, opens its very first store-tea room in the city of Lights.

Nestled within walking distance from Madeleine, this chic and glam 45-sqm store (with about 20 seats) expects to make a name in the healthy pastry universe.

Described as the “Positive pastry shop”, Foucade Paris offers allergen-free delights (gluten-free with very little or lactose-free), with less sugar (low in saturated fat and fast-acting sugar) and with natural and unrefined ingredients (complete almond flours and powders, complete sugar…).

And to offer a creative offer combining pleasure and health, Marjorie Foucade is surrounded by nutritionists, cooking engineers and renown French pastry chefs.
