Historic butcher shop changes hands

The Maison Vessière, a historic Lyonnaise butcher shop established in Croix-Rousse 35 years ago, is now being managed by Maxime Falgère, a 27-year-old butcher.

Business spans multiple locations

The business, which operates a dozen stores across the Lyon metropolitan area, including locations in Tête d'Or (Lyon 6th) and on the avenue du Point du Jour (Lyon 5th), will retain its iconic address at 3, rue du Mail in Croix-Rousse (Lyon 4th).

New owner takes charge

According to Le Progrès, Maxime Falgère has been managing a newly renovated store since September 18. He already owns two other establishments, one on the Grande Rue de la Croix-Rousse and the other in Sathonay-Camp.

Falgère’s background and team

Falgère previously spent 8 months honing his skills at Maison Vessière before taking over the business. The new owner has retained the entire existing staff, bringing his team to 15 employees.
