Eleven stores and counting for the la Madeleine Country French Café
For centuries, the fireplace has served as both the visual focal point and the communal center of a room. It’s where family and friends come together and share everything — from stories about their days, to gifts during the holidays. And in at least one nationwide bakery-café, it’s also where friends, family and loved ones come to share a meal.
Since 2013, Old World Stoneworks has been proud to be associated with the la Madeleine Country French Cafés across the U.S. The rustic French interiors offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere where guests are invited to come in and spend their time in an authentic French home setting.
And what makes 11 of their locations particularly special is the fact that they all feature the Old World Stoneworks’ original fireplace mantels, in multiple locations and cities within Texas, Louisiana, Maryland and Virginia.
“For more than 30 years, we have continuously upheld the aspiration la Madeleine was founded upon: to bring fresh, delicious, and authentic French culinary traditions to our guests. Part of that tradition is providing a warm, comfortable environment in which our guests can enjoy the food, and a key component is our signature fireplace. Our valued customers love to sit, sip and savor the flavors of the French countryside without the rush of the day getting in their way in front of a fireplace that reminds them of home.” — Carol Kamenish, Director of Design, la Madeleine.
It has been a wonderful privilege to work with la Madeline. We hope that they continue to grow their business and continue serving beautiful food in front of our signature mantels! If you haven’t already done so, definitely give them a visit. You’ll be glad you did.
About the signature mantel pieces from Old World Stoneworks:
To craft these beautiful mantel pieces, each piece is fashioned from real cast stone — a man-made limestone process that has been around over 600 years. Once ready, the mantels emulate Indiana limestone, also known as Bedford limestone, recognized as the highest quality quarried limestone in the United States. Every detail of Old World Stoneworks’ fireplace mantels is meticulously hand-carved, adding world-class beauty to any space.
