Bread is a symbol of life in France and
bread is a noble product. At Boulangerie
de France we follow the French tradition
of using only natural ingredients, and
that’s why our breads contain no fat,
no sugar and certainly no preservatives.
When people tear into our breads…ooh
la la, they discover our passion for food!
To enhance the retail experience, breads
are baked throughout the day every day.
Imagine the fresh aroma now. We bake
a bit of France in our stores each day.
Cest magnifique!
Food and bread in
particular is one
of life’s greatest
pleasures.

Through their involvement with
international franchise chains,
our Directors have gained vast
experience and a valuable knowledge
of franchised operations.
Fast forward to 2011 and the
Boulangerie de France system is
finely tuned. With two corporate
stores and five franchised stores,
our brand is poised for rapid growth.
From humble beginnings in 2003,
the Directors created Boulangerie
de France with three company
stores in Sydney’s CBD, Melbourne’s
CBD and Westfield Miranda in
Sydney, with a combined turnover
of almost $5m p.a.
New stores are in planning for
Melbourne and Sydney over the next
12 months, with expansion into
other regions of Australia to follow.
We are looking for passionate people
to join our team, so if you think
you’re one of them, contact us today
and let’s talk!
