A family story
After running the Auberge du Cavalier in St-Georges (VD) for 10 years, Maryse and Gérard Ferry took over the Cafe du Commerce in 1984 Aubonne. They make it this mythical place with a magical atmosphere. Most of the decoration (the zinc bar, the lights, etc.) comes from the famous Parisian flea market of Saint Ouen! Graduated from the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne and the Changins School of Oenology, Olivier Ferry takes over the reins du Commerce on 1 January 2013. Nothing less than the 5th generation of hoteliers at the Ferry!

In 1993, after 12 years spent at the Buffet de la Gare in Gland at alongside André Mermod, Chef François Claveau succeeds Maryse Ferry in the kitchen. August 2013, Virgile Horber is hired as restaurant manager. On July 1, 2015 he left Le Trade to resume studies. Lara Heer replaces him until September 2018 (to begin in October of the same year of a degree in catering). Julia Balaguer serving since the beginning of 2016 now holds his position. In the kitchen, François has been supported by Carla for several years now. End 2014 Susana joins them...

Summer 2019. Mr. Olivier Ferry gives up on continuing to hold the reins Trade to discover other horizons. Will Aubonne lose this mythical place? Will Friends of Commerce be deprived of their favorite bistro and its team dear to their heart? No. On September 3, 2019, the Commerce reopens its doors. Lara Heer, her room manager, and François Claveau, her chef since 1993, have taken up the challenge of continuing to bring the Commerce to life, the quality of its cuisine and its welcome, its friendly, warm and direct atmosphere. They became its manager and managing partner. The always faithful Carla, now accompanied by Susana, will continue to support François in the kitchen, The name of the Ferry family no longer appears. But we can say that the current names are those of the "extended family" who continue to support the spirit of commerce.
