The most food-porn bakery & pastry shop in Bordeaux

Launched in 2018 with the ambition to revolutionize the world of baking, The French Bastards is unlike any other bakery.

Driven by our slogan “Founded Yesterday”, we boldly express our desire to challenge the conventions of a craft too often stuck in tradition. Here, there is no family legacy: we carve our own path, reinventing the art of baking every day with a modern, irreverent, and unapologetic mindset.

As we grow, we remain true to the spirit that has driven us from the start: that of a local artisan bakery, where each creation is the result of genuine craftsmanship and uncompromising standards.

While our brand expands, our commitment stays the same: to offer everyone a unique gourmet experience, driven by a passion for quality and a taste for excellence.

It is this balance between growth and craftsmanship that defines our strength and allows us to preserve the very essence of a neighborhood bakery, while sharing our vision with an ever-growing audience.

At The French Bastards, we believe that bakeries play a key role in protecting the environment, promoting sustainability, and supporting local communities. As such, we have implemented several initiatives across our network:

• Daily collection and redistribution of unsold food through partner charities
• Long-standing partnerships with suppliers of organic flour and PDO-certified butter
• Opportunity to fund in-store breakfasts for Secours Populaire beneficiaries
• Regular menu updates to respect product seasonality
• Launch of the first Earth Month program in April 2024
• Annual CSR scoring by a certified organization (Ecovadis) and carbon footprint assessment
