Meet Delphine Plisson, founder of Maison Plisson

Founded in 2015, Maison Plisson is both an e-commerce site for quality food products, two French cuisine restaurants and two delicatessens located in the 1st and 3rd arrondissements. We met its founder, Delphine Plisson, with whom we talked gastronomy, food and beauty. 

Hello Delphine! Could you tell us about the history of Maison Plisson?

I founded Maison Plisson seven years ago. It's a place dedicated entirely to pleasure and common sense in everyday eating. My day-to-day role is to be the conductor of an orchestra. There are the restaurants and the bakery. When I arrive in the morning, my pleasure is to be able to say hello to the bakers, the cooks, all those who prepare the stores, the greengrocers, the cheese makers, the pork butchers, the wine merchants. It's like a play! The products have to be ready, the kitchen has to be set up, the bread has to smell good... It allows me to taste everything, and that's pretty cool!

What do you like best about your job?

It's the people in general, the producers thanks to whom we can offer 7,000 wonderful artisanal products, the Plisson team, 150 passionate people whom I love dearly, and of course all our customers who put their trust in us every day. 

What is Maison Plisson's mission?

I'd say that our day-to-day mission is to ensure that our daily diet is natural, as close as possible to what's in season, while respecting the know-how and organoleptic qualities of our products. As a result, when we eat well, we see the impact on our skin. It's the perfect complement to a good daily beauty routine!

How would you describe your skin?

My skin is normal for a 50-year-old woman. I try to keep it moisturized, radiant, toned and respectful of my own energy. 

Could you describe your skincare routine? 

In the evening, when I get home from work, I'm a bit obsessed with cleansing. For my face, I useCleansing Oil Oh My Cream Skincare which I emulsify with lukewarm water before rinsing with the Cleansing Gel Susanne Kaufmann Cleansing Gel whose fragrance I really like. In the evening, I use the Hyaluronic Acid Serum Barbara Sturm mixed with a few drops ofAnti-Aging Face Oil Augustinus Bader. My skin looks and feels plumped up. When I have a little more time, I take the opportunity to cleanse deeply and moisturize well. In general, once a week, I use the Rose Bioactive Scrub Odacité which has a texture I really like. It's super-clean thanks to its push-button system, which means you only get the amount of product you need. You can keep it on for just a few minutes for an exfoliating effect, or let it dry before rubbing it in with your fingers for a slightly stronger exfoliating effect. What's more, it has a light rose fragrance that I really like!

And finally, what's your favourite product?

My favorite product is the Rose Water Mist Susanne Kaufmann which I discovered a few weeks ago and am totally addicted to. I use it all the time, in the morning and evening after cleansing my skin, at any time of day and especially in summer. I find it an extremely pleasant product. It's my favorite product if I had to choose just one!
