Alexander Chezaud said that after opening a new location of his Le Petit Paris cafe and an offshoot called Le Petit Atelier in a little over a year, he was not looking to add a third.<\/p>\n

But when he saw the chance to expand into Ponte Vedra Beach, he said, he couldn\u2019t pass it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always wanted it, but we never found a location that could fit our needs. So when we knew about this possibility, I had to jump on the opportunity,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not every day that you get spaces available in Ponte Vedra. It checked a lot of the boxes that we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Le Petit Atelier – French March\u00e9 opened at 363 Atlantic Blvd., Suites 2, 3 and 4, in Atlantic Beach. It is in the same center as one of Chezaud\u2019s Le Petit Paris cafes.<\/p>\n

Chezaud is preparing to open the new Ponte Vedra Beach location at 830 Florida A1A N., after launching a shop in San Pablo in 2025 and Le Petit Atelier in Atlantic Beach in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe opened three locations between February of last year and today,\u201d he said, including the Ponte Vedra Beach location. \u201cPonte Vedra is very special for us, because we\u2019ve been wanting to come here since almost day one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ponte Vedra shop is Chezaud\u2019s sixth, starting with the original at 9965 San Jose Blvd, Suite 46, in Mandarin. That restaurant opened in 2019. Since then, he has expanded to:\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Le Petit Paris and the Le Petit Atelier, both in the Shoppes of Northshore, 363 Atlantic Blvd., in Atlantic Beach. Le Petit Atelier serves appetizers, tapas, charcuterie and cheese with signature wine cocktails.\u00a0A Southside location at 7111 Bentley Road., which opened in 2023.The San Pablo La Petit Paris at 14474 Beach Blvd., which opened in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ponte Vedra Beach cafe is south of Ruth\u2019s Chris Steak House and Restaurant Medure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like the other Le Petit Paris locations, the Ponte Vedra Beach restaurant will be fast-casual and will serve baguette and croissant sandwiches, quiche, salads, cheese boards, sweets and pastries. Prices range from $6.25 to $20.<\/p>\n

It will offer coffee drinks, sodas, juices, tea and wine.<\/p>\n

The cafe\u2019s hours will reflect the other four locations \u2014 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chezaud said the restaurant may open at 7 a.m. to cater to families dropping off children at the nearby Bolles School Ponte Vedra.<\/p>\n
