The bread is made from a starter ("levain") and uses Sel Gris (Gray Salt) from the Guérande area in Brittany, 30% Spelt flour, and 15% wheat bran.
It's cooked in a wood-fired oven. The bread is thick and rustic looking, and is slightly dark ("grisâtre.")
Founded by Pierre Poilâne who come to Paris in 1932 and opened the bakery in the same place it now is.
A factory was built in 1982 to meet the growing demand. Now (2004) headed by Lionel Poilâne.
