Supporting your village's bistro - Label Bistrot de Pays

Created in 1993, the Bistrot de Pays label bases its mission on values of mutual aid and solidarity for the benefit of independent bistro owners - cafés, restaurants, multi-service businesses - located in rural areas. Its objective is to enhance the spirit of the place that each bistro carries, to participate in its preservation, development, and transmission. Through communication, training, and networking actions, Bistrot de Pays actively supports bistros, carriers of tradition and the future, committed actors serving social cohesion.

An active network driven by a collective of supportive professionals, Bistrot de Pays allows elected officials, local authorities, bistro owners, and residents to collaborate to create and grow their projects. Together, they initiate a process of economic, touristic, and cultural progress. Their shared will helps form a sustainable ecosystem that offers concrete hope for rural areas.

In 2027, 20 bistros located in rural municipalities will be able to benefit from the association's technical support and begin the quality process allowing them to become members of the Bistrot de Pays network.
