About The French Bastards
The French Bastards is a modern artisan boulangerie-pâtisserie and café concept based in Paris, France. Operated by the company TFB RESEAU, it specializes in high‑quality breads, viennoiseries, pastries, sandwiches, and coffee, combining traditional French techniques with a contemporary brand image. The group has expanded through multiple locations in Paris and other French cities such as Bordeaux and Lille, all trading under the commercial name “The French Bastards.”([pappers.fr](https://www.pappers.fr/entreprise/the-french-bastards-840908214?utm_source=openai))
A charge labeled "TFB RESEAU-MFB" on a card statement is very likely associated with an in‑store purchase at one of The French Bastards bakery/café locations in France. Terminals are registered under the legal entity TFB RESEAU (commercial name The French Bastards), so card networks often use that corporate name—sometimes followed by internal terminal or network codes such as “-MFB”—rather than the full brand name you see on the storefront. Purchases typically include food and beverage items like pastries, bread, sandwiches, or drinks and are almost always one‑off transactions rather than subscriptions.
If you have questions about this charge, first check any receipts or email confirmations from a recent trip or visit to a French city where The French Bastards operates, especially around Paris (e.g., Oberkampf, Pigalle, Le Marais) or Bordeaux/Lille, on the same date and for the same amount. You can also look at your card’s posted transaction date and compare it with the day you visited a bakery. To resolve issues, contact the bakery location you visited or use the contact details on thefrenchbastards.fr; if the charge is still unrecognized, you can dispute it through your card issuer, providing the merchant name “The French Bastards / TFB RESEAU” and the transaction date and amount.([pappers.fr](https://www.pappers.fr/entreprise/840908214?utm_source=openai))
