Your presentation in a few words
In June 2021, Elodie and Bertrand settled in Aveyron, in the commune of Saint-Affrique. In this portrait, they describe the gentle way of life in this beautiful region.
Bertrand loves fishing, cycling and nature and spends all his holidays at his parents' house in Bournac. For professional reasons, he moved to the Paris region. He quickly built a career at Renault and enjoyed the excitement of the capital. Then he met Elodie, a saleswoman. But after almost 22 years of living in Paris, tired of the hectic pace of life and driven by the desire to return to the South of France, they began to question their future aspirations.
A professional opportunity as a trigger
The economic context and the health crisis offered Bertrand the possibility of leaving the company with a redundancy plan. So in May 2021, they left the hustle and bustle of Paris for a return to their roots in the Aveyron. Bertrand secretly had dreams of entrepreneurship which he shared with Elodie. They decided to take the plunge and discovered an offer to take over a pizzeria in Saint-Affrique.
A pizzeria with an Aveyron touch
They were seduced by this pizzeria, with its Aveyron flavours, which is renowned for its taste. For the moment, they want to ensure continuity in the menu offered. Elodie has nevertheless brought her personal touch with her homemade desserts.
And for the next few months...
The summer period is in full swing, with many tourists and locals. As for the winter period, various ideas are being studied to bring the place to life, both to keep customers loyal and to attract new customers, such as students, by offering them special packages.
Bertrand would also like to combine his artistic and musical attraction with his restaurant business. A future challenge to take up!
