La Mere Poulard - Cookies

Mont Saint-Michel
Born 1200 years ago, when the Archangel Saint-Michel appeared to men and built an abbey on top of a sacred mountain located in the middle of a huge bay bordering the Channel coast and where the world's highest tides take place.

Mother Poulard of yesterday

The most typical characters of Mont Saint-Michel, at the beginning of the century, are La Mère Poulard and the Marquis of Tombelaine. Annette Poulard arrived at Mont Saint-Michel with the architect of historical monuments, Mr Corroyer, whose cook she was.

In 1888, this young and talented cook settled down and opened her inn, La Mère Poulard, which was then taken over by her family for a long time, notably by her sons. It was then that she established the institution of her famous omelette with her secret recipe which, it is said, makes the food tastier.

Thanks to her culinary talents and her kindness, Mother Poulard quickly became famous. Her reputation spread beyond the borders of Normandy and Brittany and she became the ambassador of French cuisine and the art of living.

Warm and prolific, Annette Poulard has the reputation of a great cook who successfully ran her inn for 70 years. Her image is inseparable from the “Marvel of the West”. She left behind a collection of recipes which today allows us to offer a range inspired by her know-how.
