Fauchon
Fauchon is a French gourmet food company that was founded in 1886 by Auguste Fauchon. The company is based in Paris, France, and operates retail outlets. Fauchon currently produces tea, chocolate, biscuits and sweets among other products.
Originally a street vendor, then a wine merchant, Auguste Fauchon created the company that bears his name in 1886. He developed the Fauchon store in Paris, France, on Place de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement. Given the high quality of his produce and packaged goods made by its suppliers, the Fauchon Company quickly became very famous internationally. “Fauchon imposes itself as the top luxury gourmet store in France; you may find there the most unusual and refined products”, said the well-known writer Jean-Michel Salvator.
In 1898, Fauchon opened the first Salon de thé in Paris. Of all the gourmet foods the store sells, tea remains the most celebrated. In 1905, Auguste Fauchon began selling his wares by catalogue, making them available to epicures all over Europe. The company continued to innovate throughout the 20th century, creating the first flavored teas in the 1960s and the first flower-petal teas in the 1970s.
The most important worldwide competitors are Hédiard, Lenôtre, Le Palais des Thés, Dammann Frères, Mariage Frères, Kusmi Tea, TWG, Fortnum & Mason and Harrods.
Creation: 1886 by founder Auguste Fauchon.
