In 2014, Julien Lapraille made a name and surname with the general public by participating in the fifth season of Top Chef. Three years later, he opened his Marché de Julien in Marbehan. A local shop in which it offers meal formulas, sandwiches, a butcher’s-charcuterie-cheese-bakery counter, but also pastries, groceries, etc. An initiative that fits perfectly with the personality of the Gaumais and well in tune with the times.
Yes, but now, on April 30, the Julien Market will lower the curtain to close permanently. Blame it on the events that have followed one another: the pandemic and its confinements, the increase in the price of products and the soaring price of energy. In short, everything has increased, its expenses too. A 40% increase, impossible to pass on to the prices charged at the risk of customers feeling robbed.

“We are stopping the Julien Market but you have seen that I always have a smile, he said in a video posted on his social networks. We will always see you at T’char (the restaurant in Bastogne that he runs with Thomas Meunier, Ed.), at the Libramont Fair, etc. In short, it’s a new project that opens up to me, a new story.”
Julien Lapraille also continues his activities in the media: The big ride RTL, its capsules The good living on the radio or his activities on social networks.
