What MAISON BOUVARD - TRAITEUR does

Maison Bouvard - Traiteur is a privately held French artisan boucherie and traiteur (butcher-caterer) business founded in 2012 by Éric Bouvard in Dolomieu, Isère, France. The company operates two retail boutiques — one in Dolomieu (headquarters, 1 place du champ de Mars, 38110) and one in Biol (5 rue des Halles, 38690) — staffed by an experienced team of nine, and serves individual consumers, business customers, and wedding clients across the north-Isère (département 38) area. Its core offerings are a traditional French butcher counter (beef, pork, poultry, lamb, veal, charcuterie, all of French origin), bespoke traiteur services (cocktails, buffets, seated meals, customized menus), delivered meal trays (Plateaux Repas, free delivery from 5 trays), and a portable boxed meal product (Ma petite Box at €13.00).

The business makes money through unit-priced, single-transaction sales across all four revenue streams: counter meat sales, custom event catering, meal tray deliveries, and the fixed-price Ma petite Box. Corporate clients receive tailored proposals with on-site service options; individuals either purchase in-store, order by phone for takeaway, or receive meal trays via local delivery. There is no proprietary technology, no app, no online ordering platform, and no AI/ML capability disclosed — the operating model is built on culinary craft, the founder's CEPROC Paris training, prior experience alongside Robert Morel and Astier Père et Fils, and a curated traiteur menu of several hundred items across cocktails, buffets, entrées, fish, meats, accompaniments, desserts, cheeses, and barbecue options. Distribution is regionally constrained to north-Isère, marketing relies on organic social media and the Mariages.net wedding directory, and the company is wholly founder-owned with no external investors, parent, or disclosed financial scale.
