What cirette traiteur does

Cirette Traiteur is a privately-held French catering company operating since 1885, specializing in high-end event catering for private celebrations (weddings, anniversaries, religious ceremonies, private receptions), corporate events (seminars, galas, office deliveries), and institutional/public-sector occasions. The company runs a central production laboratory at the Marché d'Intérêt National (MIN) in Rouen and a commercial bureau on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, with service coverage spanning Western Normandy to Île-de-France along the Paris-Rouen-Deauville-Le Havre corridor. Revenue is generated through quote-based per-event catering contracts, with 73% of ingredients sourced from local suppliers within a 200km radius. The company holds ISO 20121 sustainable event certification and is the first caterer in France and Europe to operate as a Société à Mission, a regulated mission-driven company status.

The product portfolio includes the core Cirette Traiteur brand for full-service event catering, plus the wholly-owned Cookliv sub-brand for direct-to-consumer and B2B meal delivery (plated jars, buffets, cocktail boxes, breakfast) through its own e-commerce platform. Add-on service lines include food truck and street food concepts, seated dinners, post-wedding brunch packages, and breakfast/meal tray deliveries. Pricing is quote-based for events and transaction-based for Cookliv; most event pricing is not publicly listed and is provided on request.

Operationally, Cirette sells through direct sales teams in Rouen and Paris, a website contact channel, and the Cookliv online storefront, supported by an active social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Pinterest. The company is a member of Traiteurs de France, the national professional caterers association. Leadership transitioned in 2024 when Vincent Gallais (16-year company veteran, promoted internally from cook to director) and Sophie Scolan took over Cirette Groupe from founders Stéphane and Emmanuelle Cirette.
