Group
La Mère Poulard Group is the leading hotel and restaurant operator on Mont Saint-Michel. As an ambassador for the site's natural and historical heritage, it offers the most comprehensive and diversified range of services on the site to meet the expectations of all visitors, with a unique experience based on the generosity and hospitality of its emblematic character, La Mère Poulard.
Group
Today's tourist clientele is demanding strong proposals in terms of authenticity and naturalness. Because Mont Saint-Michel will continue to be one of the most visited sites in France in the future, the La Mère Poulard Group is helping to raise the profile of the Wonder of the World in the tradition of Annette Poulard's "French hospitality".
Group
Diversification: a more diversified offering in terms of services and price range, to meet the needs of all audiences.
Digital transformation: the Group's desire to offer its customers, employees and partners ever more advanced use of digital solutions.
Local roots: we favour links with companies and suppliers in Mont Saint-Michel basin and the surrounding region. The free-range eggs for our iconic omelettes are produced just a few kilometres from the Mont, on a family farm that supplied Annette Poulard back in the 19th century.
Group
In a market where brands are competing with each other in terms of invention and modernisation, La Mère Poulard biscuit factory is committed to taste, with simple, authentic products that respect tradition. These traditional, authentic recipes and their packaging recall the roots and the world of biscuit-making.
