Timeline

From a Paris herbalist practice to an integrated platform.

1997Origins

Origins in traditional expertise

Our roots trace back to Laboratoire Calebasse, founded in 1997 in Paris.

The project was initiated by Mrs. Shaohua LIU, a gynecologist and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who established "À la Calebasse Verte", one of the most authentic Chinese herbalist practices in France.

Through clinical experience and advanced herbal preparation techniques (paozhi), she developed traditional formulations that were later enriched through collaborations with pharmacologists and healthcare professionals across France and Europe.

2010'sIntegration

From laboratory to integrated platform

Flore de France was created as an extension of Laboratoire Calebasse, initially to structure sourcing and supply activities.

Over time, the company evolved through a progressive integration of sourcing, formulation, and production, strengthening control over quality and consistency.
