Since 1946, a forerunner in healthy living

A true story


OUR HISTORY

La Vie Claire was launched in 1946 by a humanist with a vision and great respect for the earth and natural products, Henri-Charles Geffroy. Poisoned with mustard gas during World War One, Henri-Charles Geffroy was able to regain his health and extend his life expectancy with a very natural diet composed primarily of fruits, vegetables and seeds.



"Think clearly, see clearly,
act clearly, and live a clear life"

INITIALLY, A MATTER OF DEEP BELIEF


To share his experience, he created the magazine La Vie Claire in 1946. Henri-Charles Geffroy wanted to create a platform to freely express his vision and to connect others who saw things differently, who seek to “think clearly, see clearly, act clearly, and live a clear life”.

DRIVEN BY THIS CONVICTION,
THE PROJECT OF LA VIE CLAIRE PRODUCT
RANGE TAKES SHAPE


The magazine was a success, and many readers asked Henri-Charles Geffroy to help them find the foods that met the standards he recommended. In answer to such a request, he decided, in 1948, to create the first La Vie Claire cooperative, proposing the first products under the La Vie Claire brand. From that period on, the network and its product range grew steadily.
