An important chapter in the commercial history of Verfeil has closed with the recent tribute ceremony for Éric Boulouys. The municipality presented him with the city medal to acknowledge his over sixty years of commitment to the community and its residents.
The story of this family business began in May 1964, when Éric Boulouys's in-laws first set up their butcher-delicatessen stand in the market square. Thirty-four years later, in October 1998, Éric Boulouys took over the business, ensuring its continuity. In total, the family's presence marked the Verfeil market for 62 years, forging strong connections with multiple generations of customers.
Today, the artisan is retiring well-deservedly. However, the stall will not remain empty: the business has been officially taken over by Rémi Vincent and Léa Bragagnolo. This couple is already known in the region for their work at the markets of Lavaur and Toulouse.
For the new owners, butchery is also a deep-rooted family passion, with Rémi's parents and grandparents having practiced the same trade. Rooted in their Aveyronnais origins, the family continues to source their veal and lamb directly from the region.
The municipality and the residents of Verfeil extend their warmest thanks to Éric Boulouys for his exceptional career. They also wish Rémi Vincent and Léa Bragagnolo great success and a long tenure at the local market.
