Rewarded many times for his art, the title of Triple World Champion enrolled Francis as an incomparable jam maker.
A confectioner by trade and passionate about the « Arts of taste and flavours », he diversified his products, he surrounded himself with a team of chocolate makers and thus created the artisanal confectionery named "Féerie Gourmande".
Trained in the purest French tradition, at the Lenôtre school, Francis was keen to pass on to his team the respect for French cuisine and the quest for excellence and taste.. In 1998, he and SG Sender (Gaston Lenôtre's "Monsieur Pâtissier") launched the famous Coucougnettes du Vert Galant.
They were so successful that a range of confectionery and chocolates with a wicked sense of humour were born !
