The Boumets prison in Marseille is the only one in France with a restaurant open to the public. In the kitchen, inmates work as clerks. A way for them to find employment and prepare for their reintegration.
This is a unique restaurant in France. Here, two-thirds of the staff are inmates. They are all at or near the end of their sentences and earn 45% of the minimum wage per month. Welcome to Beaux Mets, which is attached to the Boumets prison in Marseille but is open to the public. Today, the leader
Leo Troisgros came to give a cooking class to the teams. “We see new people, we work, it creates the rhythm of life. And I’m learning a trade. (…) It’s a great job, I like it” Detained for five months, Osama testifies. Here, the reservation rules are a bit specific: criminal records and identity of customers are checked. Small consumers and cell phones are also prohibited inside the establishment.“I am very grateful because I didn’t know how to work, I didn’t know how to do anything, I didn’t know how to express myself.” Another prisoner, Alaideen, comments. Sandrine Soulier is the chef at Les Beaux Mets restaurant. She explains: “They have much more motivation. Their first desire is to get out of the cell, but when they are here, it is to learn. (…) The discipline that exists in the kitchen can teach them rigor, to respect work rules and also team coordination. Can teach. Down there, they may not be best friends, but here, they have to stick together” “Sometimes, it’s the little details that change lives, and we’re here to provide those details.” Mark Balthazard concludes Hotel Beaux Mets.
