About La Fournette
In Chicago, La Fournette is an Alsatian-inspired bakery shaped by the Zimmermann family's baking roots in Schnersheim, France. It offers crusty, aromatic breads, with almost all varieties made using natural sourdough starters for flavor and natural preservation. Product offerings respond to the seasons and local produce, reflecting the village-market traditions of its origins. The bakery also has a café. Its Chicago operation began in 2010, when World Baking Champion Pierre Zimmermann and his wife Michele developed a bakery combining Alsatian traditions with a Chicago identity. Bread is central to its offerings.
