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 technichques unique to each region.
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.
