Our know how

A spirit of family

Maison Godard proudly represents her territory in the universe of gastronomy. Maison GODARD, founded in 1978 by Alain and Michèle Godard, then joined by their children Pascal and Annabel, remains faithful to the ambition fixed back then: associating the respect of traditions to the pleasure in all good things, and that in a family atmosphere.
Located in Gourdon, a medieval village inside the Quercy-Périgord region, our family is entirely dedicated to a real epicurean passion. Always in accordance with quality and authenticity our family prepares from the best raw materials from our region: foie gras, specialities with foie gras, confits, pâtés and ready made-meals.

Our quality comitment

Maison Godard has been one of the pioneers to ensure a Southwest France origin for her duck and goose foie gras. Maison Godard’s quality commitment gives you the assurance that her foie gras come exclusively from ducks and geese, which are fed with maize by talented “gaveurs” in the South-West of France. In 1999, Maison Godard obtained the so called IGP (Protected Geographic Identification) certification scheme and today it is one of the latest companies in the foie gras industry to still offer exclusively duck foies gras from Southwest France and goose foie gras from the Périgord.

All our gastronomic specialities are prepared with the freshest raw agricultural commodities according to oldest recipes, which are the heritage of the gastronomic know-how of our region.

As pioneer, Maison Godard decided in the early 90’s to launch certified regional foie gras elaborated from ducks and geese that were raised outdoors and fed with maize by professional gaveurs in Southwest France. Since 1999, she keeps supplying Duck Foie Gras that are exclusively selected for their certified origin from Southwest France and carry the I.G.P trademark (Protected Geographical Identification). Besides, she guarantees the Périgord origin for her Goose Foie Gras.
