The chain has brasseries, cafes, and boulangeries, each serving genuine French food. The outlets are typically French in the laid back and cozy atmosphere and the al fresco eating system. The cafes are ideal places for hanging out and one is sure to find them throbbing with youngsters and tourists. The boulangerie serves 70 different varieties of bread baked with ingredients imported from France. It sustains its customers with an assortment of pastries, pies, pizza and typical French bakes.
