SANDWICHES BY RAYMOND BLANC AT PAUL BAKERY THIS AUTUMN
Your everyday lunch just got upgraded! French family bakery, PAUL, joins forces with Michelin legend Raymond Blanc OBE for a magnifique new collaboration celebrating the craft, generosity and unmistakable flavour of French food.
Launching on 15th September, the partnership will see Raymond bring his renowned approach to seasonality and flavour to PAUL with two specially created sandwiches. Available across selected stores in London, Oxford and Reading, the collection promises to turn the everyday lunch into a distinctly French occasion.
It is a natural meeting of two French food titans. Founded in 1889 and still family-run five generations later, PAUL has built its name on traditional additive free artisan bread-making and pâtisserie. Raymond Blanc, meanwhile, has transformed Britain’s understanding of French cuisine, leading Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons to retain two Michelin stars for an extraordinary 41 consecutive years.
Together, they have created two autumnal sandwiches – one meat and one vegetarian – both served in PAUL’s signature freshly baked baguettes and featuring outstanding, well-balanced ingredients.
LE BOEUF BLANC | Tender roast beef with celeriac remoulade, horseradish and truffle oil | £8.95*
LE BRIE BLANC | Brie with caramelised onions, marinated chicory, crushed walnuts, truffle oil and fine ribbons of celery | £8*
Raymond Blanc OBE comments: “PAUL and I share a belief that the simplest food deserves the greatest care. A beautifully baked baguette, excellent seasonal ingredients and the right balance of flavour can turn lunch into something truly special.
“These recipes are rooted in the food I grew up with in France but created for how people eat today. It has been a joy to work with a family business that has protected its craft for five generations, and I hope each sandwich brings a little French pleasure to the day.”
Julia Powell, CEO at PAUL UK says: “Raymond is one of the greatest ambassadors for French food, so there is a genuine affinity between his philosophy and everything PAUL stands for.
“This collaboration brings his creativity and understanding of flavour together with the bread-making heritage that is at the heart of our family business. The result is two exceptional sandwiches which feel unmistakably French and unmistakably PAUL.”
The PAUL x Raymond Blanc sandwiches will be available from 15th September until 15th November as part of PAUL’s new autumn menu at all PAUL stores in London, Oxford and Reading.
