Ginette, the travelling pastry shop !

Elise CHICOT-BASSOT (class of 2017) launches Ginette, the itinerant pastry shop in Le Havre ! 

After several years in Marketing and Communication, Elise is passing her pastry CAP in the hope of opening her tea room in Le Havre. The health crisis is calling her project into question and Elise needs to review her concept. She decided to buy a fully outfitted vintage Citroën truck to make her pastries. This is how Ginette was born ! 

"Ginette was my neighbour in Rouen when I was doing my CAP Pâtisserie," explains Elise. “She ate all my production and she always encouraged me in my entrepreneurial project. It made me very funny when I moved back to Le Havre because she was no longer by my side. And it seemed obvious to me to call my company and this famous trailer "Ginette"." 

Elise will be present in the various markets of Le Havre :

- from Thursday to Saturday, Place de la Liberté in Sainte Cécile

- Friday in Sanvic

- Sunday, Place des Halles Centrales

Find Elise for her inauguration on Saturday, 4 December at the Sainte Cécile market and Sunday, 5 December at the Les Halles market and follow her news on Facebook and Instagram.
