About M Bois Negoce

A family business obsessed with great wood.

Founded in 1998 in Paris, we have spent nearly three decades sourcing timber from sawmills we know personally.

Our story

M Bois Negoce was started by Marc Boulanger in a small yard on the eastern edge of Paris. Two decades later, the team has grown but the principle has not changed: every plank we sell, we would happily lay in our own home.

We travel each year to the forests and sawmills we work with — in France, Scandinavia, the Baltics and South America — to negotiate stock, check grading and keep our suppliers honest. The result is a curated catalogue: a small number of products, all of which we trust.

Today we serve architects, contractors and homeowners across France with same-week shipping from our two depots in Paris and Lyon. Our showrooms are open Monday to Saturday — come in for a coffee and a chat about your project.

What we stand for

Sustainability

Every species we sell is FSC® or PEFC™ certified, traceable to the forest of origin.

Quality

We grade every pallet on arrival — what does not meet our standard is sent back.

People

Our team is small, experienced and reachable. No call centres, no scripts.

Direct sourcing

We buy directly from the mill wherever possible — better wood at a fair price.
