Richard Fournier 2 work is my distraction There is no distraction at work To understand the origins of Le Comptoir de Mathilde in Provence, you have to travel a further 200 km to the north, towards Saint-Etienne. This is where Mathilde lived: a baker by trade, and grandmother to a certain Richard. In 2007, the boy from Saint-Etienne decides to pay tribute to the woman who inspired his childhood, and opens a small delicatessen in Nyons called “Le Comptoir de Mathilde”. Here, he sells products in bulk, such as olive oil, vinegar, tapenade and liqueurs, etc. With a strong desire to sell beautiful, gourmet products, he becomes a manufacturer as well as a retailer. Without inheriting a storefront, he embarked on this adventure as one would search for treasure, with the ambition to fly the flag for fine French gastronomy. A first shop, then a second, leads Richard to developing franchises, and investing in a 24,000 m2 production facility to satisfy the great gourmet descendants of Granny Mathilde. “Creating and sharing moments of emotion through innovative gourmet products has always been dear to my heart. Manufacturing our products in France, with a team driven by the values and DNA of the brand, is a real source of pride and guarantees our know-how and expertise.” Founder “ “
