It is moreover with authenticity et simplicity that the latter tells his real success story. It starts at the age of 14 when he joins the butchery as intern then apprenticed in CAP, before taking over management in 2014. His secret:

Lots of work and quality products.

Bazas beef and local meat

Of taste and the quality therefore, but what about the identity and strong values de la boucherie Levilly ?

Bazas beef is our identity! We offer local butchery, charcuterie and catering… and we are committed to respecting animal welfare.

And who says local products also says: more respectful of the environment by limiting the transport of raw materials.

I grew up in a very modest family with a mother who raised us alone. So, at a very young age, I already knew that if I wanted something, I had to work to get it.

A hard worker and a “top team”

« Work hardday after day, from morning to evening, so it's normal for me, and that's why I became an entrepreneur. Work is what teaches us about life,” says the craftsman.

Indeed, its hours, Rémy doesn't count them: “We are open Tuesday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., as well as Sunday morning from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.… But I have lots of luckI have top employees. »
