What LECOINTE-TRAITEUR does

Lecointe Stories (legal entity operating under the LECOINTE-TRAITEUR brand) is a privately held French creative event-catering company headquartered in Maromme, Normandie, with additional offices in Paris and Le Havre/Deauville. The firm designs and delivers bespoke catering experiences for corporate and private events through a portfolio of branded concepts: Cocktail Stories (cocktail receptions with custom scenography and maître d'hôtel service), Stories à Table (sit-down dining), Bistronomade (market-style catering for 40 to 5,000 guests), Lecointe Livraison (delivery catering across Normandy departments 76 and 27), and the premium La Touche Stories brand alongside a standalone Scénographie Événementiel service. Operations rely on in-house kitchens, HACCP-compliant food safety processes, French-sourced meats, seasonal menus, and a 24,000-piece-per-month cocktail production capacity. The company runs approximately 880 events per year across a network of 120 referenced venues and serves a customer base spanning large enterprises and public institutions (e.g., Sanofi, Ferrero, Bouygues Construction, GRDF, Thales, TotalEnergies, Crédit Agricole, Porsche, CNFPT). Revenue is generated through per-event service contracts with quote-based pricing; Lecointe Livraison adds a higher-frequency delivery-catering stream within Normandy. The company is privately held, discloses no funding, no parent entity, and no patents or trademarks, and operates under an Engagé RSE sustainability commitment.
