Fauchon<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Auguste Fauchon, the founder of Fauchon, a French gourmet food company, came from humble beginnings as a street food vendor in Paris before launching his fine foods shop at Place de la Madeleine in 1886. Word spread over time and the brand eventually came to symbolize French gourmet food. So much so, that in 1968, Parisian radicals raided the store and distributed foie gras<\/em> to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
