A truly beautiful story

LE MARQUIER was born on Rue Pontrique in Bayonne, in a wrought-iron workshop. Our founder, Guy COURS, soon took the products he created in his workshop to Paris. Customers were quick to respond, and soon, LE MARQUIER products were being sold in stores in Paris.

This was a big change for our small business. After creating accessories for the world of fire, the first outdoor kitchen products were born.

To cope with its growing success, LE MARQUIER moved from the artisanal to the industrial stage, mechanizing the manufacture of its charcoal grills and fireplace accessories in a new 5,000 m² workshop in Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx.

The idea for the plancha - French griddle came from observing the cooking system used at village festivals in the region. The local inhabitants used a simple stove (for sterilizing homemade preserves) and a metal plate for cooking. LE MARQUIER wasted no time in developing this cooking system for use by consumers, and soon advertised it in France under the name plancha - French griddle.

LE MARQUIER affirms its position as a pioneer and is proud to have obtained the Origine France Garantie label for the manufacture of its charcoal grills and planchas - French griddles (with the exception of the charcoal grills in the VULCAIN ACIER and TRAEGER ranges). A guarantee of quality and expertise!

Régis FLUSIN and Bruno MABILLE, two long-time friends with complementary backgrounds, took over the reins of LE MARQUIER on March 1^st. Preserving French expertise was our goal and an obvious choice for both of us!

Who are they? Régis FLUSIN was behind the launch of the Weber Charcoal Grills brand in Europe. Bruno is the former General Secretary of the Éditions Gallimard publishing group.

While remaining on a human scale, the brand is also maturing and growing. LE MARQUIER has adopted a new brand identity and remains true to its DNA: Conviviality - Excellence - Passion. This fine heritage is what makes LE MARQUIER such a strong brand!
