Thierry Aigon artisan glaciercier
After his apprenticeship with his father and his C.A.P. diploma (National Vocational Qualification in Confectionary and chocolate making) in 1985, Thierry Aigon travels the country, attends many training courses and participates in many national contests. He is notably the French vice-champion in sculpture and ice-cream desserts.
In 1993, he takes over his father’s pastry shop and opens his first boutique in Ruoms, then another one in Vallon Pont d’Arc, in 1999. In May 2015, along with Magali, his wife, he opens a brand new workshop for ice-cream making and a museum , unique in France, dedicated to the ice-cream and its history. All the ice-creams suggested there are prepared without any added artificial coloring or flavouring.
Thierry Aigon says :
« The making of our ice-creams, it’s the old tradition with the modern technique ! » !
