My name is Sébastien and I am the creator of La Petite Box
– an idea born out of my passion for good food and my love of sharing it with others.
In 2022, I moved to the Stavanger area with my wife for my job. Like many foreigners, I have worked to integrate into Norwegian society. Learning the language is still a great adventure, and I have come to appreciate many things about my new home.
But there was one thing I couldn't get used to: the absence of some of the beloved French products I grew up with. The artisanal marmalades, gourmet chocolates, and other little delicacies that remind me of my homeland. Although I've enjoyed discovering Norwegian specialties, I've always felt like something was missing in the kitchen.
That’s when a few friends came to the rescue. They started sending us monthly packages filled with “good local produce”—carefully selected treats straight from our favorite producers in France. I felt like I was unpacking a little piece of France every time I opened one of their boxes.
It felt like unpacking a little piece of France every time I opened one of our boxes.
And that's how La Petite Box comes into being.
Right now, I'm preparing the very first disposable lunch box, filled with six unique French delicacies handpicked from small family producers. This first lunch box will launch in May 2025 , and I couldn't be more excited to share the taste of France with you all.
If people like it, the plan is to create a new food box every month, with even more opportunities to discover authentic French flavors.
