Heir to four generations of Alsatian bakery and pastry-making tradition, Pierre Hermé arrived in Paris at the age of 14 to start his first apprenticeship with Gaston Lenôtre.

In early 2005, Tokyo saw the inauguration of the latest Pierre Hermé Paris concepts: the Luxury Convenience Store and the Chocolate Bar.

Both establishments are situated in the Omotesando district, where all of the major imported brands and fashion houses active in Japan are also present.

In 2010, they inaugurated the Maison Pierre Hermé on Rue Fortuny in Paris, home to the Atelier de Création.

The company has been expanding strongly since 2010 on the international scene with several boutiques located in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
