Blachère Group was founded in 1985 by Bernard Blachère in Provence, France, rooted in a family passion for quality products and retail. The company initially focused on fresh produce, establishing Provenc'Halles as its historic brand for fruit and vegetable retail. Over three decades, Provenc'Halles grew into a network of specialty stores known for a traditional market spirit, varied offerings, and short distribution circuits. In 2004, Bernard Blachère and his daughter Marie launched Marie Blachère, a bakery concept in Salon-de-Provence, aiming to offer 'the right product at the right price.' This brand expanded rapidly, becoming a prominent bakery chain in France. The group also developed Mangeons Frais and Café Marie Blachère. Today, Blachère Group remains a family-owned enterprise with over 30 years of expertise in fresh products, continuing to emphasize quality, freshness, and proximity to customers.
