Our history

Since its creation in 1895, the Minoterie Girardeau flour mill has been guided by the desire to pass on baking excellence. For four generations, it has relentlessly cultivated its love for the good, the beautiful and the healthy. In order to continue to spread its virtuous vision of the sector whilst being a key player in driving renewal, our mill has always successfully combined innovation and ethics. A clever mix that has enabled to mill to make a solid environmental commitment and firmly establish its taste for authentic and original flavours.

Located in the Loire-Atlantique region of France, in Boussay, Minoterie Girardeau has naturally established itself as an independent player in the sector. It maintains a close relationship with all the players in the bakery, cakes and pastries, biscuit and catering industries. Every day, Minoterie Girardeau and its passionate teams work to offer their partner bakers a quality flour able to reveal all the flavours in their creations: T65 flours, organic flours, special buckwheat flours, rye flours... From the field to the sack of flour, Minoterie Girardeau supports the key players in the wheat industry and follows its farmers over the long term. This sector-based approach commits it to favouring wheat from local cooperatives in Maine et Loire and Vendée. Our knowledge of markets enables us to anticipate their flour needs and to constantly improve our capacity to innovate. Inspired by the desire to be as close as possible to our partner bakers, we offer them a range of services that enable them to create and run their artisan bakery, and to improve their baking skills to offer products of increasingly higher quality. Being a baker today means using good flours and also maintaining your skill and expertise by learning new techniques and new baking recipes. Being an artisan baker also means taking up the challenge of communicating your bakery. Minoterie Girardeau offers a communication and marketing service adapted to each artisan-baker project.

What our clients say

“I work with the Bocage flour mill for two reasons: the quality of the flour and the human contact. From the start, I really enjoyed my discussions with the sales team and Yannis, who knows his subject perfectly around the installation. In general, there was information sharing, which is essential! All these people made us move forward together! “
