AU BEC FIN Artisan specializing in poultry in Villefranche-de-Rouergue

Au Bec Fin: The excellence of Aveyron poultry since 1920

In the heart of the fortified town of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Maison Guy - Au Bec Fin embodies the soul of the Rouergue region. A historic family business, it proudly carries on the legacy of four generations of passionate poultry farmers. Much more than just a shop, it's an institution where respect for animals and butchery expertise are passed down like precious treasures, creating a direct link between the farms of the valleys and the most discerning tables.

A short and ethical supply chain built on trust

The exceptional quality of Bec Fin products is based on a rare loyalty: the Guy family has worked with the same farming families for over 50 years. As early as 1975, a pioneering partnership was established with producers in Najac to define an exemplary farming method. Here, they know each farm, the composition of the feed, and the complete absence of antibiotics or antioxidants. This control of the supply chain guarantees poultry (chickens, guinea fowl, roosters, hens) of generous size and firm flesh, raised on grassy ranges between Aveyron and Cantal, while the quail, pigeons, and ducklings come from selected producers in Vendée.

Traditional carving techniques and culinary modernity

While tradition remains the foundation of the business, the fourth generation has successfully adapted its offerings to new consumer habits. For purists, poultry is still prepared "the old-fashioned way," delivered whole with head and feet, then gutted and/or cut to order according to customer preferences. Alongside this, the shop now offers a creative range of roasted poultry, specialty cuts, and 100% homemade ready-made meals.

Whether you push open the door of the head office in Villefranche or one of the Parisian boutiques, you will find this demand for freshness and this tailor-made service that have made Maison Guy - Au Bec Fin famous for more than a century.
