History
The origins from 1886 until 1952
The founder of the Fauchon brand, Auguste Fauchon, was born in Calvados in 1856. He moved to Paris in 1880, where he began to work as a street vendor, moving on to become a wine and spirits merchant. In 1886, at the age of 30, he opened a fine foods outlet on Place de la Madeleine in central Paris's 8th arrondissement. This first shop still exists, and was totally renovated over a century of expansion and transformation.
The quality of the products made by Fauchon and its numerous approved suppliers quickly made it well-known internationally, and it came to symbolise French-style luxury. In 1968, French radicals chose to raid Fauchon and distribute foie gras to the poor. During the Second World War, restrictions and rationing made business difficult for the company. Auguste Fauchon died in 1945 and his children sold the company in 1952

Lost
by: VisionI see her face in my dreams – like a star shining
all across the sea
I remember this moment – years ago there was only
you and me
When I wake up in sadness – I realize my deep
wounds never heal
Living only in memories – all is lost, coldness I
can feel
Sky turned darker and darker – soulless voices
whispering her name
End came closer and closer – endless sleep was
sweeping in her veins
She faded away – like a rose on a winterday
I remember her last words – please don´t cry for
Lost in endless night take me there, where I see you
again
Reach out for the light when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me all across the raging sea
Together we will be when will I ever be free
One night I was dreaming seemed to me like reality, so
clear
A fallen angel inside me speaks to me, tells me what
has to be done
There´s a fire in my heart burning bright like the
glory of a king
For too long I was waiting now my soul is flowing in
the wind
She faded away like a rose on a winterday
I remember her last words please don´t cry for me
Lost in endless night take me there, where I see you
again
Reach out for the light when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me all across the raging sea
Together we will be when will I ever be free
Lost in endless night take me there, where I see you
again
Reach out for the light when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me all across the raging sea
