Chez Flo, Artisan bakery in the heart of the 13th arrondissement

Chez Flo is, above all, the story of Florence Boileau, a fifth-generation artisan baker. Raised in the trade from her earliest years, she is the heir to a family of bakers and pastry chefs whose passion goes back to the 1920s, when her great-grandfather already ran his own bakery in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. On her mother's side, the tradition took root in Melun, Seine-et-Marne: two lineages, one shared craft passed down through the generations.

Between 1976 and 1985, her parents opened three bakery-patisseries in Saint-Maur. Florence grew up, learned and worked there alongside her parents and sister, steeped in a century-old family craft. Uncles, aunts and cousins have all devoted their lives to the trade too, a whole family united by the same calling. Today, of her entire generation, Florence is the only one carrying on the tradition.

In October 2025, a new chapter begins: Florence takes over Chez Flo, at 4 Boulevard Vincent Auriol, in the heart of the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Every morning from 5am, she kneads, shapes and bakes the breads, pastries and viennoiseries of the Chevaleret area on site. A craft already recognised: her croissant won 5th prize at the Best Croissant of Greater Paris 2026 competition, awarded by Les Boulangers du Grand Paris.

Florence's promise is simple: carefully selected fresh ingredients, time-honoured recipes made with passion, and a warm welcome for every customer. A good neighbourhood bakery is a daily landmark, a place you come back to every morning out of habit and pleasure.
