The French Oven Bakery and Café was opened by local Scripps Ranch residents, Yves Fournier, and his wife, Susie.  Chef Yves grew up in France, in a small village at the base of the French Alps called Veyrier du Lac. Baking has always been a Fournier family tradition, and today, He represents the 5th generation of bakers in his family. An old family bakery sign from 1840 hangs on the wall of The French Oven.
