Massif Centrale: A Jean DuBost Tradition

For almost 20 years the offering for flatware at Maison Midi has come primarily from one supplier in France. If you are anywhere along the Mediterranean French coast, in a hotel, auberge, bed and breakfast, or a rented villa, you most likely will find the forever durable flat wear with the iconic bee on it from Jean DuBost, or known a Laguiole. Why? Well, it is simply the best.

Through the years of handling their products, the Maison Midi buying team of Mark Werts and Susan Staar has become friends with the DuBost family. This special relationship has provided our clients with the best of the best in flatware. Not expensive for the everyday quality, and the big 24 box set is a fantastic wedding gift. The newlyweds will absolutely remember your gift……for sure.
