Since 1884

Traditional butchery in Monaco

Artisan butchers for several generations, the Giaume family founded Boucherie Parisienne in 1884. Fifty years later, the Formia family succeeded them, perpetuating the establishment's know-how. In 2005, Julien Davin, with his extensive experience in the food industry, took over the reins of this institution. In the service of gastronomy, Formia's teams are passionate about their unique expertise.
To guarantee excellence and exemplary traceability, Formia selects its live animals from a network of top-quality breeders. In our showcases, gustatory treasures are carefully presented; Formia regularly selects 1st prizes from the biggest French markets.
Our qualified butchers are committed to offering our customers a personalized service, and will respond to your every request. Renowned for its exceptional meats and cuts, Formia now serves the finest tables on the Côte d'Azur. Patented supplier to H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco, Boucherie Formia is a benchmark in the Principality.
Our stores have been completely refurbished to combine modernity, tradition and compliance with European hygiene standards. Make no mistake... you're in an old house.

140 candles for Boucherie Parisienne FORMIA

4 boulevard de France - Monaco

An address that has remained unchanged for 140 years: Boucherie Parisienne, formerly Maison Giaume, founded in 1884 by artisan butchers and handed down to their descendants.

From 1934 to 1998, three generations of the Formia family ran the business, acquiring its letters of nobility.

If the walls of the establishment could speak for themselves, they'd have a lot to tell us, as privileged witnesses to a place steeped in history.

A licensed supplier to His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco and the Principality's finest restaurants, Boucherie Parisienne Formia owes its reputation to the exemplary quality of all its products.

It was a daring challenge for Julien Davin, who has presided over the destiny of this anthological establishment since 2005, to take up the torch. Keen to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, Julien insisted on keeping the Formia name, well known to Monegasques.
The premises have been modernized to meet new European health and safety standards, and in 2013, riding the wave of his well-deserved success, Julien Davin bought the Boucherie des Arcades Place d'Armes, now the Boucherie Parisienne Formia du Marché de la Condamine.

We wish him the same success as his exemplary predecessor, which should be a matter of course, since all the key words dear to this institution are respected: tradition - authenticity - know-how - excellence.
