Tell us about your business
My name is Maxime Frédéric, co-founder of Plein Cœur, a bakery, pastry shop and chocolaterie located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
The concept was born from the desire to become part of everyday life in the Batignolles neighbourhood offering creations that are elegant, simple and always meaningful.
We work closely with local agricultural partners hazelnut growers, egg producers, coffee roasters, cacao and flour suppliers to enhance a responsible and traceable supply chain.
Our inspiration also comes from history, particularly through a collection of vintage copper moulds that often guide our creations.
Alongside bread and viennoiseries, we also produce yoghurts and a dedicated range for children, including cakes and chocolate treats.
Which IRINOX equipment do you use in your workshop?
We chose IRINOX for the reliability and versatility of its equipment.
At Plein Cœur, everything is made in-house bread, viennoiseries, cakes, chocolates and yoghurts and IRINOX solutions allow us to manage all processes efficiently, including:

This versatility is essential, especially in Paris, where workspaces are often more compact.
