| | A Fishy Business Pays Off |
 | | Raymond's company, Le Borvo SA, is one of France's most highly reputed producers of smoked salmon, becoming exclusive supplier to the renowned Paris caterer, Le nôtre, while also selling to airlines and hotels and, more recently, through gourmet sections in supermarkets. |
 | | His semicircular factory, built at a cost of 30 million francs ($5.25 million) on the outskirts of this small village in northern Burgundy, should turn out some 430 tons of smoked salmon this year, generating 40 million francs in sales, up from 37 million in 1993. |
 | | In fact, in 1985 he and his brother-in- law created a catering subsidiary, housed at Le Borvo's headquarters, called La Bourbonnienne, which is expected to generate 17 million francs in additional sales this year from a client list of more than 11,000 people. |
