      Who is Le Moulin de Provence?

      Le Moulin de Provence was created by Claude Bonnet in 1998. To this day he is still the only founder of our company. His business model has always been based on the desire to provide Canadian consumers with a unique way to discover French, Italian and European flavors in general in terms of Bakery, Pastry, or catering.

      To this desire to bring flavor, Claude Bonnet has also always wanted to bring an atmosphere, a sense of well-being specific to our business when we come to buy his bread, or settle down to taste our delicious pastries or cooking recipes.

      Located in the heart of Ottawa's Byward Market, Le Moulin de Provence is one of the largest retail stores in the National Capital. We always have a large amount of different nationalities in our collaborators (whether in production or sales), which is our exception in terms of openness, tolerance and multiculturalism. It also translates into the ability of our business to accommodate its customers in a large number of different languages, making them feel at home.

      With nearly 300 fresh products produced daily, we take up daily one of the biggest challenges of our profession. Our artisan way of baking is the essence of our success: producing large quantities in a traditional, manual and fresh daily is a great organization, precision and involvement of all our employees. Many of our products can only be found here, demonstrating our European experience and inspiration to offer them to our customers.

      Franchise model and why is this a unique opportunity?

      Our franchise model is an independent franchise model.

      The word " independent" is very important to us because it means a fundamental element: Partners who invest to join our adventure do not pay Royalties on their sales.
      Our sales model is a unique license, sold only once at the start of our collaboration agreement. The objective is to guarantee our partners that they are the owners of their businesses, and not disguised subcontractors, prisoners of binding and expensive rules. The Moulin de Provence is the only Franchise offering this business model: our partners invest in their store, the license allows them to use:
      - Our sign
      - Our graphic charter
      - The marketing support that we provide weekly
      - To benefit from a catalog of exceptional products
      - Supply conditions that guarantee comfortable margins

      At the production level, we deliver our partners each morning for sale under the same conditions as at our main store. Thus our guests feel just as comfortable and well received regardless of the Moulin de Provence where they would go.

      Our ethics: why are we so special?

      Since the creation of the Moulin de Provence, Claude Bonnet has always striven, every day, for the last 20 years, to instill in his employees a way of working, rigor and high standards, in order to to satisfy its customers in all circumstances.

      This rigor is also found in the relations and the choice of our suppliers: because we also privilege the natural products, fresh and coming from the Canadian agriculture.

      The level of training we offer our employees and partners is also up to our requirements.

      As with any successful and successful company, over the years we have implemented processes of manufacturing, organization, sales and customer relations that have ensured our current success, and our reference image in this field.
