Welcome to my Safran du Gâtinais website, my name is Thierry DUPRE. In the 1980s, I was the first, with other people, to relaunch the culture of saffron in FRANCE by creating a family saffron in the Gâtinais.

Saffron (crocus sativus) has been known as a spice and cultivated since ancient times. During trade with other continents saffron bulbs were introduced in France and the cultivation of saffron was formalized in the Gâtinais by Louis XIV in 1698 (History of saffron).

Since 1995 I have been growing organic saffron under the name Safran du Gâtinais (registered trademark) and I offer organic specialties with saffron. I invite you to discover them by browsing the pages of La Boutique BIO.
