Does anyone know if it is possible to use a domestic Kitchen to produce baked goods for sale in markets or would a commercial kitchen be required? What authority would regulate this - the local Mairie?

Thanks

Slightly different but again producing food for sale, our boucher/traiteur friends have three visits per year from the Sanitary Inspectors who go over everything with a very fine toothcomb. You will probably find you need to install stainless steel everywhere, washable wall coverings and other compulsory needs like special sinks,clothing etc. The same goes for the school cantine where food is cooked and eaten - three visits per year and they can close you down for the very slightest little problem of hygiene. You really need to start at the local Chambre de Metiers or Commerce as you may have to register and do a course on how to run a business such as this first. The mairie may get involved afterwards if you are registered as a business as you will pay Taxe Professionnelle and you may need to change your Taxe d'Habitation to a business one.
