The bakery, originally called Kern City French Bakery, began in 1887 under the proprietorship of Marius M. Espitallier. In the early years the brick building which housed the bakery also contained a saloon. At the time, a loaf of good French bread sold for six cents.In the early 1900{s the Kern City French Bakery was purchased by Marcel Reynaud, Joseph Gueyden, and Augustine Amour. In 1912 a new bakery building was constructed and the previous building under its new owner, Joseph Espitallier , became the Hotel Des Alpes. In 1918 Gueyden became the sole owner. For him and his wife Lea (Marin) the bakery building was both a place of business and a family residence for many years. Mr. Gueydan did all his own work with the help of only one man. He{d start mixing his dough just before midnight and finish baking about 9 in the morning, then would deliver the bread to his customer{s homes on the delivery wagon. Mrs. Gueydan would sell the bread in their retail store.In December, 1944 Pierre and Juanita Laxague along with partners, Michel Erreca, Antoine Laxague and Jean Baptiste Elgart, purchased the Parisian Bakery on East 18th Street from Pete Borda. Laxague and his associates changed the name of the bakery to the Pyrenees Bakery in honor of their native province.
