In 1965, when the Nouvelles Galeries department store opened in Lille. Francis Holder immediately offered to supply their bread. From his bakery in Lambersart, Francis Holder began delivering bread to the growing number of mass retail chains, including Auchan, Nouvelles Galeries and subsequently Monoprix, under the “Moulin Bleu” brand. In 1970, Francis Holder purchased an abandoned industrial site at La Madeleine, in the suburbs of Lille, transforming it into his first factory for mass distribution outlets. In 1972 the original family shop in Lille installs a wood stove and opening the baking area so that customers can see the bread being baked. This tradition was incorporated into the Paul chain which develops with the expansion of malls in France. Francis Holder and his teams take over prime locations in city centers, in Paris and in major cities across France. In 1993, the bakeries change to black storefronts, which is the signature look now.
