Douceur de France, french pastry and café

Chef Luc Beaudet

Many baking enthusiasts fondest childhood memories
began in Mamans kitchen and so it was for Luc Beaudet.
Born in the region of France called "Poitou",
he followed his mom, at a very early stage,step by step,
learning her cooking skills with a special interest in making desserts.
The love of cooking she inspired in Luc led him into a formal training in the Art of Patisserie.

After earning his degree, Luc enrolled in "Les Compagnons du Devoir du Tour de France",
an organization dedicated to touring France and Europe
to learn the pastry techniques unique to each region.

After 4 years in this organization Luc earned the title of "Compagnons du Devoir"
by doing a masterpiece in pulled sugar and pastillage.
It took 7 years to accomplish his "Tour de France'.

During these 7 years Luc not only perfected his Art
but learned many great life lessons as well.

But France and Europe were not enough for Luc. He felt he was too young to settle down.
He took a job as a Pastry Chef in Tokyo, Japan for 2 years.
After Japan Chef Luc took a similar position in Dallas,Texas with La Madeleine French Bakery.
When La Madeleine opened it's Atlanta Market, Luc got promoted to Regional Corporate chef.
He retained this position for 5 years with an emphasis on product developement.

Luc's dream of owning his own Pastry Shop finally came true in early 2000
when he opened Douceur de France in Atlanta.

Now married with 2 children Luc has finally settled down in Marietta Georgia.
With his wife Danielle they have created Douceur de France (sweets of France)
with the idea of bringing the true taste of fine French pastries made from scratch to America.
