We left Paris for Cluj.

Pierre & Tiffany — founders of Maison Bonjour, in Cluj-Napoca

Maison Bonjour was born from a conviction and a frustration.

Tiffany grew up in the Cévennes, among chestnut trees and plateaus in the south of France. From Montpellier to Paris, then to Portugal during a stint abroad, she learned what it means to carry a territory with you far from home — and the art of recreating an anchor elsewhere. Back in Paris, she worked for several years at the heart of French institutions, witnessing what policy can and cannot do for artisans, producers, and vanishing savoir-faire. After three years of standing still, she chose direct action: to create the tool that was missing. A polyglot — French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and now Romanian — she has always believed that languages and cultures are best understood by going toward them.

Pierre crossed through the world of culture, then that of Champagne wines — two worlds where passing things down and excellence are never empty words.

Together, they made a bet: to leave Paris for Cluj-Napoca, love at first sight for Transylvania, its people, and its energy. Here, in one of the most Francophile countries in Europe, they found exactly what was missing — and exactly what they wanted to build. No French specialty shop worthy of the name, no relay for artisans who deserve to be known beyond their borders. A real demand, a French-speaking and French-loving community waiting for just that.

Maison Bonjour isn't a box. It's a monthly act of passing something on — a region, a pair of hands, a story.
