Overview

About La Madeleine

- Since opening our doors in 1983, we’ve worked hard to develop our franchise program while staying true to our French heritage. - With over 85 successful locations nationwide today, people have taken notice.

In the middle of a busy life, la Madeleine is a little piece of France you can call your own. Guests are encouraged to choose the la Madeleine experience that suits them. Sit and sip quietly by the fireplace or choose the patio and take place in what we consider one of the highest forms of French culture: the art of conversation.
