His Excellency Jérôme CAUCHARD French Ambassador to Bahrain
The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Bahrain innovates once again.
La chambre de commerce et d’industrie francobahreïnienne innove une fois encore.
This first Guide to the French economic presence in Bahrain, “Made in France à Bahrain” is a great initiative that I welcome with pleasure. It reports on the breadth of the economic and commercial relationship between France and the Kingdom of Bahrain. It also illustrates the diversity and variety of the links that enrich the French presence in Bahrain on a daily basis.
Ce premier « Guide de la présence française à Bahreïn » est une belle initiative que je salue avec grand plaisir. Il rend compte de l’ampleur de la relation économique et commerciale qui unit la France et le Royaume de Bahreïn. Il illustre aussi la diversité et la variété des liens multiples qui enrichissent au quotidien la présence française à Bahreïn
By listing all the actors, all the sectors and all the brands that contribute to the richness of this relationship, this guide innovatively completes the range of tools put in place to support both unlisted and listed companies, to advance the cooperation and nurture exchanges between the two countries. Everyone can usefully find in it the contacts they need, with the justified feeling of belonging to a vast business community whose members, being French or not, share the same commitment to the service of the bilateral relationship and the economic profile of France. This guide is therefore particularly welcome, and I know that it is here to stay. It is a tool for the present and an investment for the future.
En recensant tous les acteurs, tous les secteurs et toutes les marques qui contribuent à la richesse de cette relation, ce guide complète de manière innovante la panoplie des outils mis en place en appui aux entreprises, individuelles comme cotées en bourse, pour faire progresser les coopérations et nourrir les échanges entre les deux pays. Chacun pourra utilement y trouver les contacts dont il a besoin, avec le sentiment justifié d’appartenir à une vaste communauté d’affaires dont les membres, Français ou non, partagent le même engagement au service de la relation bilatérale et du rayonnement économique de la France. Ce guide est donc particulièrement bienvenu et je sais qu’il s’inscrit dans la durée. C’est un outil pour le présent et un investissement pour l’avenir.

Jean-Christophe DURAND President French Chamber of Commerce & Industry in Bahrain, FCCIB The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Bahrain, FCCIB, has become one of the most active foreign business institutions in the Kingdom of Bahrain. After a sustained period of growth since its launch in 2016, when it officially joined the CCI France International global network of 125 Chambers across the globe, it regroups today around 100 Corporate Members, French and Bahrainis.
La Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie Française à Bahreïn, FCCIB, est l'une des institutions commerciales étrangères les plus actives au Royaume de Bahreïn. Après une période de croissance soutenue depuis son lancement en 2016, date à laquelle elle a officiellement rejoint le réseau mondial CCI France International, composé de 125 Chambres à travers le monde, elle regroupe aujourd'hui une centaine d’entreprises membres, françaises et bahreïniennes.
The rapid development of the FCCIB is a proof that the economic and business relationship between the two countries is growing and diversifying. It also confirms that the Bahrain market offers a very favorable environment for foreign companies to establish a local presence, thanks to its strategic location, its quality of life, the welcoming business facilities, and the very qualified workforce.
Le développement rapide de la FCCIB est la preuve que la relation économique et commerciale entre les deux pays se développe et se diversifie. Il confirme également que le marché de Bahreïn offre un environnement très favorable aux entreprises étrangères pour s'implanter localement, grâce à son emplacement stratégique, sa qualité de vie, ses conditions d’installation accueillantes et sa main-d'œuvre très qualifiée.
The FCCIB and its dedicated team of professionals constantly look for new projects, ideas and partnerships which could benefit the business community interested to contribute to the relationship between the two countries. We aim at promoting systematically the French expertise in the Kingdom of Bahrain and demonstrate the continued attractiveness of the Kingdom of Bahrain for our French companies.
La FCCIB et son équipe dédiée de professionnels sont constamment à la recherche de nouveaux projets, idées et partenariats qui pourraient bénéficier à la communauté d’affaires, et ceci dans l’intérêt de contribuer au développement des relations entre nos deux pays. Notre objectif est de promouvoir systématiquement l'expertise française au Royaume de Bahreïn et de démontrer l'attractivité continue de Bahreïn pour nos entreprises françaises.

CCEF PRESIDENT'S TESTIMONIAL Jacques MICHEL President Bahrain's Committee for Foreign French Trade Advisors (CCEF) The Bahrain CCEF chapter, which I have the privilege to chair, includes a group of French business managers and independent entrepreneurs, representing different sectors. Their knowledge of the local and regional economic environment, coupled with their sectoral expertise is available to France and to French companies or entrepreneurs who plan to set up or export to Bahrain. Our Chapter works very closely with the Embassy of France and its economic department. It has also established constructive relations with the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Bahrain as well as the public and private economic institutions in the Kingdom. The Kingdom of Bahrain has a strategic location at the heart of the Gulf and offers a favorable environment for business, which makes it a destination of choice for French companies wishing to establish themselves in the Gulf region. Bahrain’s economy is already one of the most diverse in the region. It is undergoing a vigorous transformation with the goal of further reducing the Kingdom’s fiscal dependence on oil revenues and diversifying its economy. Several large industrial projects are part of this strategy. Bahrain is also leading a series of initiatives to make its environment even more welcoming to foreign investors. Bahrain’s key strengths include a stable economy; easy access to the region, including to Saudi Arabia; a skilled talent pool; competitive pricing; a favorable tax environment; and a good social climate. Bahrain should definitely be a location for consideration for French companies as they consider their expanding, or setting up in the Gulf countries.
Le comité CCEF de Bahreïn, que j'ai l'honneur de présider, est constitué d’une quinzaine de responsables d’entreprises ou entrepreneurs indépendants, représentants différents secteurs d’activité. Leur connaissance de l’environnement économique local et régional ainsi que leur expertise sectorielle sont mises à la disposition de la France et des entreprises ou entrepreneurs français, qui envisagent de s’implanter ou d’exporter au Bahreïn. Notre comité collabore très étroitement avec l’Ambassade de France et son service économique, il a noué également des relations constructives avec la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie Française à Bahreïn ainsi que les institutions économiques publiques et privées du pays. Bahreïn, en raison de sa taille et de son poids économique relatif au sein de l’espace CCG est encore trop souvent méconnu alors même que le Royaume offre un environnement très propice à la vie des affaires, qui en fait une destination de choix pour les entreprises françaises désireuses de s’implanter dans la région du Golfe. L’économie de Bahreïn est déjà l’une des plus diversifiées de la région et sous l’impulsion du Leadership local, elle est en voie de transformation vigoureuse, dont l’objectif est de réduire davantage la dépendance budgétaire du Royaume aux revenus pétroliers. Plusieurs grands projets industriels s’inscrivent dans cette stratégie. Bahreïn conduit aussi une série d’initiatives pour rendre son environnement encore plus accueillant pour les investisseurs étrangers. Sa position de Gateway de l’Arabie Saoudite qui demeure le marché le plus important de la région, son avantage comparatif en termes de prix, sa population jeune, bien formée et désireuse de travailler sont autant d’atouts sur lesquels le pays est en train de capitaliser. Le choix de Bahreïn devrait constituer pour nos entreprises françaises une option à privilégier dans leur plan d’expansion ou simplement d’installation dans les pays du Golfe.

SUCCESS STORIES: LEADERS OF FRENCH COMPANIES IN BAHRAIN Mehdi HANAYEN General Manager Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa "I was part of Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa pre-opening team, in 2011, and I must say that this were one of the most fulfilling days of my life as a hotelier"
Accor has an illustrious history and witnessed continued success in Bahrain with eight hotels currently being managed by the group in the Kingdom. The group has ambitious plans to unveil a one of its kind, Raffles in Bahrain in 2021 along with Fairmont and Mama Shelter to be added to their growing inventory very soon. This remarkable growth and its growing hotel inventory within Bahrain indicates Accor’s success due, in the one hand, to continued enhancements, constant adaptability owing to changing demands and the group’s sheer commitment to its global sustainability program; Planet 21, and on the other hand, to the welcoming locals, expert workforce from various industries and bustling tourism economy, of the Kingdom of Bahrain. I was part of Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa pre-opening team, in 2011, and I must say that this were one of the most fulfilling days of my life as a hotelier. This exclusive resort that caters to both leisure and business travelers looking to unwind amidst views of crystal clear turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, is surrounded by Bahrain's national landmarks such as Bahrain International Circuit, Gravity Indoor Skydiving, Al Areen Wildlife Park & Reserve and the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Water Park. The French décor blended with traditional Arab flair highlights this five-star hotel’s dedication to creating an exceptional haven from the bustling city. Currently, I am serving my 3rd year as a Cluster General Manager of the leading hotel resort in Bahrain - Sofitel and Mercure Grand Hotel Seef with the never-ending support of its Owning Company. I admire the adventure behind my entire hotel industry journey, in particular in Bahrain.

Cette croissance remarquable et cet inventaire hôtelier grandissant à Bahreïn témoignent du succès d’Accor dû, d’une part, à des améliorations continues, à une adaptabilité constante répondant à l’évolution des demandes et à l’engagement absolu du groupe dans son programme mondial de développement durable; Planet 21, et d'autre part, aux habitants accueillants, à la main-d'œuvre experte de diverses industries et à l'économie touristique animée du Royaume de Bahreïn. J'ai fait partie de l'équipe de pré-ouverture du Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa, en 2011, et je dois dire que ce fut l'un des jours les plus épanouissants de ma vie professionnelle. Ce complexe unique qui s'adresse aussi bien aux voyageurs d'affaires qu'aux touristes souhaitant se détendre au milieu de la vue sur les eaux turquoises cristallines du golfe Persique, est entouré par des endroits emblématiques de Bahreïn tels que le circuit international de Bahreïn, le parachutisme intérieur Gravity, la réserve animalière 'Al Areen Wildlife Park' et le parc aquatique 'Lost Paradise of Dilmun'. Le décor français allié à une touche arabe traditionnelle souligne le dévouement de cet hôtel cinq étoiles à créer un havre de paix exceptionnel loin de la ville animée. J'effectue actuellement ma 3ème année en tant que directeur général du cluster de la principale station hôtelière de Bahreïn Sofitel et Mercure Grand Hotel Seef avec le soutien sans fin de sa société propriétaire. J'admire l'aventure derrière tout mon parcours dans l'hôtellerie, en particulier à Bahreïn.

SUCCESS STORIES: BAHRAINI LEADERS INVESTING IN FRENCH BRANDS SUCCESS STORIES Abdulrahman JUMA Chairman, UNEECO (Schneider Electric) "We have been long-term partners with Schneider Electric (Middle East, UK, France), with which we signed a Franchise agreement and to which we are a Platinum Partner."
'’Nous sommes partenaires de longue date avec Schneider Electric (Moyen-Orient, Royaume-Uni, France) – parmi d’autres marques internationales - avec lequel nous avons signé un accord de franchise et dont nous sommes un partenaire Platinum.’
UNEECO, established by me in 1976, is a leading manufacturer of Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear Products.
J’ai créé UNEECO en 1976, et c’est désormais l'un des principaux fabricants de produits de commutation basse tension (BT) à Bahreïn.
We also market High Voltage (HV) equipment such as Vaccum Switchgear, SF6 Ring Main Units & Oil/Dry Type Transformers, Joints & Terminations. In the early ‘80s, UNEECO implemented the industry’s standards in the international markets which were just being designed then. We have been long-term partners with Schneider Electric (Middle East, UK, France) - among other international brands - with which we signed a Franchise agreement and to which we are a Platinum Partner. UNEECO started Low Voltage Panel Manufacturing in 1991, in association with Merlin Gerin of France, now known as Schneider Electric. The first plant was in Salmabad. Then it was moved to Mina Salman Industrial Area and operated for 15 years from there. Presently we are in BIIP Al Hidd Industrial Area. Schneider Electric, as a leader in Distribution Network Products, introduced SF6 Switchgear Technology Vis Oil in Bahrain. The 1st order to Schneider from UNEECO was a modest Euro 11,000/- in 1978. This year, Schneider Electric’s Business with UNEECO is Euro 6.8 Million from Trading and Local Manufacturing.
Nous commercialisons également des équipements haute tension (HV) tels que des appareillages à vide, des unités principales à anneau SF6 et des transformateurs, joints et terminaisons de type huile / sec. Au début des années 80, UNEECO a implémenté les normes de l’industrie qui venaient d’être élaborées sur les marchés internationaux. Nous sommes partenaires de longue date avec Schneider Electric (Moyen-Orient, Royaume-Uni, France) – parmi d’autres marques internationales - avec lequel nous avons signé un accord de franchise et dont nous sommes un partenaire ‘Platinum’. UNEECO a lancé la fabrication de panneaux basse tension en 1991, en association avec Merlin Gerin de France, maintenant connue sous le nom de Schneider Electric. La première usine était à Salmabad. Ensuite, elle a été déplacée dans la zone industrielle de Mina Salman et a été exploitée pendant 15 ans à partir de là. Actuellement, nous sommes dans la zone industrielle BIIP Al Hidd. Schneider Electric, en tant que leader des produits de réseau de distribution, a introduit la technologie de commutation SF6 Vis Oil à Bahreïn. La première commande de UNEECO passée à Schneider a été effectuée en 1978 et s’élevait à la modeste somme de 11 000 euros / -. Cette année, l’activité de Schneider Electric avec UNEECO a atteint les 6,8 millions d’euros, provenant du commerce et de la fabrication locale.

SUCCESS STORIES: BAHRAINI LEADERS INVESTING IN FRENCH BRANDS SUCCESS STORIES Basim ALSAIE Managing Director & Partner, Installux Gulf "Many people ask me why I established a partnership with a French company? My history of working with French companies started in 1990, and I always found French companies innovative and having great products."
"Beaucoup de personnes me demandent pourquoi j'ai établi un partenariat avec une entreprise française? Mon histoire de collaboration avec des entreprises françaises a commencé en 1990, et j'ai toujours trouvé les entreprises françaises innovantes et ayant de bons produits."
Many people ask me why I established a partnership with a French company? My history of working with French companies started in 1990, and I always found French companies innovative and having great products. Many SMEs in France have fantastic knowhow and technologies, but unfortunately, they are not very comfortable dealing with foreign languages, markets, and exports. Finding the right partner is the key to long-term success.
Beaucoup de personnes me demandent pourquoi j'ai établi un partenariat avec une entreprise française? Mon histoire de collaboration avec des entreprises françaises a commencé en 1990, et j'ai toujours trouvé les entreprises françaises innovantes et ayant de bons produits. Beaucoup de PME en France ont un savoir-faire et des technologies fantastiques, mais malheureusement, elles ne sont pas très à l'aise avec les langues étrangères, les marchés, et les exportations. Trouver le bon partenaire est la clé du succès à long terme.
I continue to be impressed at the pace of French innovation and how the eco-system of education, research, and business work together in France. Embracing exports is what French companies need to expand their global presence, but having the correct mindset of foreign markets and their needs is vital for long-term growth. As the world is more connected than at any time in history, technology is making it easier for small companies to reach global markets, thus creating more French innovation opportunities to get to the world.
Je continue d'être impressionné par le rythme de l'innovation française et par la manière dont l'écosystème de l'éducation, de la recherche et des entreprises travaillent ensemble en France. Accueillir les exportations est ce dont les entreprises françaises ont besoin pour étendre leur présence mondiale. Mais avoir le bon état d'esprit des marchés étrangers et de leurs besoins, est vital pour une croissance à long terme. Le monde étant aujourd’hui plus connecté qu’il ne l’a jamais été auparavant, la technologie permet aux petites entreprises d'accéder plus facilement aux marchés mondiaux, créant ainsi plus d'opportunités d'innovation françaises.
Promoting products through exhibitions has traditionally been the only option. While it is still the best venue to see products and technologies, the internet also makes it easier to promote products. Virtual exhibitions are growing, and this area is becoming the new medium to reach larger potential customers and consumers.
La promotion des produits par le biais de salons professionnels a toujours été la seule option. Bien que ce soit toujours le meilleur endroit pour découvrir les produits et les technologies, Internet facilite également la promotion des produits. Les expositions virtuelles se développent et ce domaine est en train de devenir le nouveau moyen d'atteindre des clients et des consommateurs potentiels plus importants.
In the end, the keyword is promotion, and here is where FCCIB can play a significant role in connecting potential partners to suppliers in the various sectors.
En fin de compte, le mot-clé est la promotion, et c'est là que FCCIB peut jouer un rôle important dans la mise en relation de partenaires potentiels avec des fournisseurs dans les différents secteurs.

“Bahrain is business friendly”. These words are not just used locally to promote Bahrain’s attractiveness: they represent a reality.
« Bahreïn est Business Friendly ». Ces mots ne sont pas utilisés seulement localement pour promouvoir l’attractivité de Bahreïn: ils représentent une réalité.
Incorporating a company in Bahrain is easy and can be done in a matter of weeks. 100% foreign ownership is allowed for many activities. A lot of information can be found on the EDB website.
Créer une entreprise à Bahreïn est facile et peut être fait en quelques semaines. La propriété étrangère à 100% est autorisée pour de nombreuses activités. De nombreuses informations sont disponibles sur le site Internet de l'EDB.

L’activité de mon entreprise se situe autour de l’analyse de données, de l’analyse financière et du conseil stratégique. Cette activité peut généralement être réalisée à distance.

"En plus des opportunités que Bahreïn représente pour les entrepreneurs, j'ai également été agréablement surpris par l'environnement propice aux affaires que Bahreïn avait à offrir, et le soutien apporté aux entrepreneurs locaux et étrangers dans la création de leur entreprise."
I decided, a few years ago, to move to Bahrain and to establish my business, representing the love of French Food and culture, in response to the interest the Bahraini local market has towards French products.
J'ai décidé il y a quelques années, de m'installer à Bahreïn et de créer mon entreprise pour mettre à l'honneur l'amour de la cuisine et de la culture françaises, en réponse à l'intérêt du marché bahreïnien pour les produits français.
After settling in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and due to my tremendous passion for the country, I decided to share the real French experience, by establishing the restaurant « Café Ségo » in coalition with my friends here.
Après m'être installé au Royaume de Bahreïn, et en raison de ma grande passion pour le pays, j'ai décidé de partager la vraie expérience française, en créant le restaurant «Café Ségo» en collaboration avec mes amis sur place.
My restaurant is a business with fewer than 25 employees, located in Diplomatic Area. It develops at a fast pace and we are striving to bring our customers a little piece of France. At Café Ségo, we also pride ourselves with unique antiques which were hand-picked from different areas of France, with some pieces dating back to the early 17th century, making our restaurant a unique French Experience. It is this mix of French culture, history and food that we were willing to bring to Bahrain. I am fascinated by the island with its generous inherent population who are open to all peoples and cultures. On top of the opportunities Bahrain represents for Entrepreneurs, I was also gladly surprised by the business-friendly environment Bahrain had to offer, and how it could support local and foreign entrepreneurs in the creation of their business.
Mon restaurant est une entreprise de moins de 25 employés, située à Diplomatic Area. Il se développe à un rythme rapide et nous faisons de notre mieux pour apporter à nos clients un petit bout de France. Au Café Ségo, nous sommes également fiers d'afficher des antiquités uniques qui ont été dénichées dans différentes régions de France, certaines pièces datant du début du 17e siècle, faisant de notre restaurant une expérience française unique. C'est ce mélange de culture, d'histoire et de gastronomie françaises que l'on a voulu apporter à Bahreïn. Je suis fasciné par l'île, par sa population généreuse qui est ouverte à tous les peuples et toutes les cultures.

FRENCH CHEFS TESTIMONIALS Chef Yann Bernard Lejard Executive Chef The Ritz-Carlton Born in Paris, expatriate chef for 25 years, the Kingdom of Bahrain is my second working experience in the Middle East, after having also spent two years in Saudi Arabia and having been invited to many gastronomic events in the Emirates. Having traveled to more than 20 countries, Bahrain remains, in my opinion, incomparable, it is the pearl of the Middle East, far from the Emirati splendor or the Saudi tradition, this country has been able to open up to various nationalities, it is cosmopolitan and proud of it. Since 2014 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Bahrain, I have successively represented our dear French gastronomy and excellence in hospitality and catering as Chef, Executive Sous-Chef, Executive Chef, and today Director of Culinary and F&B. The welcome given by the Bahrainis to our know-how is invaluable, I was able to initiate, and still appreciate, numerous collaborations with the local population, during culinary events such as, among others, the Bahraini farmers' market organized every spring in our hotel with our Ladies & Gentlemen, but also many events organized by the government to which we are regularly invited. Bahrainis love to eat it is part of their entertainment, part of their culture. Finally, Bahrain brought me continuity in my professional career thanks to the support of the Ritz Carlton and its owners, a culinary but also artistic fulfillment which is essential for my creativity, thanks to an overflowing Bahraini artistic scene and to the international network. Business trips to other exotic destinations are easy to do from Bahrain, so I was able to export this know-how to more than 10 additional destinations in a short time. This island undeniably offers a place of choice for French people abroad thanks to an unparalleled security and sweetness of life, a French school, and an often underestimated modernity, I am proud and feel privileged to be resident in this country.
Né à Paris, chef expatrié depuis 25 ans, le Royaume de Bahreïn est ma seconde expérience en poste au Moyen Orient, après avoir passé également deux ans en Arabie Saoudite et avoir été invités à maints évènements gastronomiques dans les Émirats. En ayant voyager dans plus de 20 pays, pour ma part le Bahreïn reste incomparable, c’est la perle du Moyen- Orient, loin des fastes émiratis ou de la tradition saoudienne, ce pays a su s’ouvrir aux diverses nationalités, il est cosmopolite et fier de l’être. Depuis 2014 au Ritz Carlton Hôtel de Bahreïn, j’ai successivement représenté notre chère gastronomie française et l’excellence en hôtellerie restauration au poste de Chef de cuisine, d’Exécutif SousChef, d’Exécutif Chef, et aujourd’hui Directeur Culinaire et Restauration. L’accueil réservé par les bahreïnis à notre savoir-faire est inestimable, j’ai pu initier, et apprécie encore de nombreuses collaborations avec la population locale, lors d’évènements culinaires comme entre autres, le marché des fermiers bahreïnis organisé chaque printemps dans notre hôtel avec nos Ladies & Gentlemen, mais aussi de nombreux évènements organisés par le gouvernement auxquels nous sommes régulièrement sollicités. Les bahreïnis aiment manger cela fait partie de leur divertissement, de leur culture. Enfin, Bahreïn m’a apporté, une continuité dans ma carrière professionnelle grâce au soutien du Ritz Carlton et de ses propriétaires, un épanouissement culinaire mais aussi artistique ce qui est primordial pour ma créativité, grâce a une scène artistique bahreïni débordante et au réseau international. Les voyages professionnels vers d’autres destinations plus exotiques y sont facilités, ainsi j’ai pu exporter ce savoir-faire dans plus de 10 destinations supplémentaires en peu de temps. Cette ile offre indéniablement une place de choix pour les français de l’étranger grâce à une sécurité et une douceur de vivre sans pareil, une école française, et une modernité souvent sous-estimée, je suis fier et me sent privilégié d’y être résident.

FRENCH FRENCH CHEFS CHEFS TESTIMONIALS Chef Paul Gardin Executive Pastry Chef My Café, Mahonia & Iris
I grew up in Normandy France, the center of food culture. My interest in food began at a very young age, when I was following my father's visits to pastry shops and cooking for my family and friends on weekends. I started my apprenticeship with Michelin stars establishments in Paris. After that, I joined Le Meurice Palace in 2007 run by a Michelin star chef Yannick Alléno. I then joined Les Hetres, which is also a Michelin Star restaurant as a 'Chef de Partie' the following year. Opportunities to work overseas brought me all over the world, working with Michelin star restaurants and rising ranks. Bahrain is definitely one of my favourite countries to work in. The country is full of kind people and great opportunities. I’ve learned a lot in my line of work as an Executive Pastry chef here in Bahrain. As we know, the island is a beautiful melting pot of many different cultures, and in every culture, we have our own sweets and flavors. This expanded my perspective and gave me creativities. After a few missions here, I find that in general, people tend to appreciate my work, my creation as well as my persistence in maintaining high quality traditional and modern French pastries which makes it a pleasure for me to be working here.
J'ai grandi en Normandie France, le centre de la culture alimentaire. Mon intérêt pour la nourriture a commencé à un très jeune âge quand je suivais mon père dans ses visites des pâtisseries et que je cuisinais pour ma famille et mes amis le week-end. J'ai commencé mon apprentissage dans des établissements étoilés Michelin à Paris. Puis rejoint Le Meurice Palace en 2007 dirigé par un chef étoilé Michelin Yannick Alléno. Puis rejoint l'année suivante, Les Hêtres, également un restaurant étoilé Michelin, en tant que Chef de Partie. Les opportunités de travail à l'étranger m'ont amené partout dans le monde, travaillant avec des restaurants étoilés Michelin et grimpant des échelons. Bahreïn, est définitivement l'un de mes pays préférés pour travailler. Ce pays regorge de gens gentils et de grandes opportunités. J’ai beaucoup appris dans mon métier en tant que chef pâtissier exécutif ici à Bahreïn. Comme nous le savons, cette ile est un magnifique mélange de nombreuses cultures, et dans chaque culture, nous avons nos propres sucreries et saveurs. Cela a élargi ma perspective et m’a donné de la créativité. Après quelques missions ici, je trouve qu'en général les gens apprécient mon travail, ma création, ma persévérance à garder une pâtisserie française traditionnelle et moderne de grande qualité, ce qui fait que c'est un plaisir de travailler ici.

FRENCH FRENCH CHEFS CHEFS TESTIMONIALS Chef Guillaume Executive Chef Swiss-Belhotel, Seef “The scent, taste and texture of food has mesmerized me at a very young age, I find cooking for others extremely fulfilling”. My experience started from working at a 1 Michelin Star Restaurant – Connaught Hotel in London, a well-acclaimed fine dining restaurant at a Disney Cruise Line to a number of luxury hotels in Norway, Thailand and Middle East. My customer’s preference is always a top consideration – giving a little twist to popular local dishes is something that I quiet mastered. Every meal that leaves the kitchen carries the name of Swiss-Belhotel International and its standard so I focus on not just the taste, but the presentation and food safety preparation. In the effort to adapt to the current situation, I make sure that my team has the highest level of food standard basics and the strictest personnel safety while the quality of our food remains consistent. I have also used this time to train my team and share experiences to create a more diverse menu that is pleasing to the eyes and palate. Being a French Chef in Bahrain has been quiet an adventure for me because of the diverse melting pot of many nationalities. I can somehow compare it to my experience while I was working at InterContinental BoraBora where the locals have been really welcoming to me and are very open to my cooking style. Bahrain is like a big food festival – from the rising of the food trucks to home-made sweets and pastries delivered right to your doorstep, Bahrain definitely has a strong food culture. I feel that this country has given me the opportunity to redefined local dishes, create a more Instagram-worthy plating while adding a little French esprit!
Le parfum, le goût et la texture des aliments m'ont fasciné dès mon plus jeune âge, je trouve que cuisiner pour les autres est extrêmement enrichissant. Mon expérience culinaire a commencé en travaillant dans un restaurant 1 étoile au guide Michelin - Connaught Hôtel à Londres, un restaurant gastronomique réputé dans des croisières Disney à un certain nombre d'hôtels de luxe en Norvège, en Thaïlande et au Moyen-Orient. La préférence de mon client est toujours une considération primordiale - donner une petite touche aux plats locaux populaires est quelque chose que je maîtrise. Chaque repas qui quitte la cuisine porte le nom de Swiss-Belhotel International et sa norme, je me concentre donc non seulement sur le goût, mais aussi sur la présentation et la préparation de la sécurité alimentaire. Dans l'effort de m'adapter à la situation actuelle, je m'assure que mon équipe dispose du plus haut niveau des normes alimentaires de base et de la sécurité du personnel la plus stricte, en maintenant une qualité de nos aliments constante. J'ai également profité de ce temps pour former mon équipe et partager des expériences pour créer un menu plus diversifié qui soit agréable aux yeux et au palais. Être un chef français à Bahreïn a été une aventure tranquille pour moi en raison de la diversité du melting-pot de nombreuses nationalités. Je peux en quelque sorte le comparer à mon expérience lorsque je travaillais à l'InterContinental Bora-Bora où les habitants m'ont été très accueillants et sont très ouverts à mon style de cuisine. Bahreïn est comme un grand festival gastronomique - de la montée des camions restaurants, aux desserts et pâtisseries faits-maison livrés directement à votre porte, Bahreïn a définitivement une forte culture culinaire. J'ai le sentiment que ce pays m'a donné l'opportunité de redéfinir les plats locaux, de créer un plat plus digne d'Instagram tout en ajoutant un peu d'esprit français!

Dior Beauty Perfume, Makeup, Cosmetics Christian Dior described himself as a fashion and perfume designer. The House of Dior, founded in 1946, changed the face of ladies’ style forever when its New Look was unveiled in the halls of 30 Avenue Montaigne on February 12th, 1947. The revolutionary look was accompanied by a fragrance, Miss Dior, the finishing touch designed to “leave a trail of desire in a woman’s wake”. This timeless perfume was the first fragrance created by a visionary brand which invented the concept of global beauty with its Rouge Dior and subsequent cosmetic lines. The current-day trustees of this legendary expertise – François Demachy, Dior Perfumer-Creator, and Peter Philips, creative and image director of Christian Dior make-up – are the heirs to Christian Dior’s perfectionism.

Signature by Sillage D’Orient Perfumes For some, the power of a perfectly formed gem lies in its beguiling luster. Others are drawn in by a brilliant hue. However a stone speaks to you, it does so without words. It’s a sensation, a vibration, an energy that connects somewhere inside you. Like a soulmate, intuition binds you to the gem, and the gem to you. The Sillage d’Orient Signature Collection is a celebration of this unspoken connection. In each fragrance - as in that special gem - we find a piece of ourselves. In Bahrain, Signature by Sillage represented by Jashanmal & Sons Co.

In 1911, Jacques Cartier, accompanied with his sales assistance, Maurice Richard, travelled to the Gulf in pursuit of the world's most precious and exquisite pearls. During this trip to Bahrain, he had a prosperous meeting with the sheikhs and pearl experts. Jacques met with Mugbil Al Thukair and Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo, who welcomed and introduced him to the pearl diving tradition of Bahrain. Al Thukair and Kanoo were the only ones who spoke English at that time, and guided him towards the right people in the industry. During the trip, Jacques even paid a visit to Sheikh Issa bin Ali Al Khalifa while dressed in a traditional Arabic dress. "As a result of this visit, some of Cartier's magnificent pearl jewellery were inspired and created."

Pierre Cardin Clothing and accessories Pierre Cardin’s Haute Couture workshops were created in 1950, in an attic located at 10 de la rue Richepanse with only 20 000 francs. These workshops were intended for design of masks and costumes for the theater. In 1952, Pierre Cardin launched his first Haute Couture collection. This first attempt has greatly impacted the closed world of Haute Couture and gave his ambitious work visibility at an International level. As his Fashion house grew quickly, new spaces were needed, and Pierre Cardin moved to a 6-storey building located at 59, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré where he brought all his activities. To this day, Pierre Cardin creates new Haute Couture pieces there every day. You can find them at the Haute Couture store downstairs. In Bahrain, Pierre Cardin is represented by Sharif Group (A La Mode).

Bernardaud Luxury Limoges Porcelain Bernardaud’s great industrial and artistic adventure began in 1863 in Limoges, a region possessing kaolin, fresh water and forests, which are all needed to make porcelain. And the adventure is ongoing! The company has already successfully navigated some of the technical and creative challenges of the 21st century and is facing the third millennium with great resolution. In 1979, Pierre Bernardaud asked his son Michel if he would like to join the company and help develop the brand worldwide. Michel Bernardaud, heir to five generations of porcelain manufacturers, took over in 1994.
