Sourdough bakery, rue Saint-Malo, Rennes

The bakery, told every morning.

A neighbourhood bakery that does everything well except talk about itself. Here is the Instagram account built for it: a clear line, a month planned ahead, templates it can fill in alone, and a way of replying that sounds like it.

The posts are in French, written for the bakery’s customers in Rennes.

Four topics, in fixed proportions

Every post fits one box. If a week only talks about products, it shows straight away, and we rebalance.

  1. Behind the oven40% of posts

    Feeding the starter, the first bake, hands in the dough. What nobody sees at 5am.

  2. Today’s bread30% of posts

    One product at a time, up close, with its story and the day it comes out.

  3. The neighbourhood20% of posts

    The regulars, the Lices market, the shops next door. The bakery is part of the street.

  4. Practical info10% of posts

    Opening hours, closures, holiday orders. Short, clear and pinned.

Les grignes, expliquées

fournil.odette Pourquoi on entaille le pain avant de l’enfourner ? Pour qu’il s’ouvre là où on l’a décidé. Quatre motifs, quatre pains, glissez pour les voir.

Topic : Today’s bread

Three story templates, filled in a minute

The baker takes the photo, picks the template, changes the time or the question. The layout stays clean, even at 7am on a Saturday.

The tone guide fits on one page: polite with everyone, no promise we can’t keep, and always a solution.

  • Vous faites des pains sans gluten ?

    fournil.odette Pas encore. Notre fournil travaille la farine de blé toute la journée, on ne peut pas garantir l’absence de traces. On préfère vous le dire franchement plutôt que de prendre un risque pour vous.

  • Plus de pains au chocolat à 11 h, dommage…

    fournil.odette Désolés ! Le samedi, la deuxième fournée sort à 10 h 30. Envoyez-nous un message la veille, on vous les met de côté.

  • La tourte de seigle de mardi était incroyable

    fournil.odette Merci, on le dit tout de suite à l’équipe. Elle revient chaque mardi et chaque vendredi.
