Antoine Faucheux

Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Shaved head and beard every six months, long hair and beard the other six months. In love with red wine and leek tart. Just as comfortable at the court of the Queen of England as in the back alleys of Bangkok during a cockfight.

 What do you do there?
Since 2017, I’ve unpacked my tools to host monthly workshops. I offer people the opportunity to make their own knife!

What is your story with L’Établisienne?
Every person from Mayenne must, like a pilgrim going to Mecca or Santiago de Compostela, go to the Paris Agricultural Show. During one such pilgrimage, providence showed me the way to L’Établisienne. Laurence has distant roots in Mayenne… it was bound to be a match.

Bonus questions 🙂 ?

What is:
– Your favorite material? Old cider barrels—the tanned wood is beautiful.
– Your favorite tool? I hesitate between the hammer and the spatula.
– Your favorite gesture? Cutting potatoes with my knife because it cuts way too well!
