Presentation of Tandonnet Frères

The Tandonnet company was founded in 1796 by Jean-Baptiste (1769-1847) and Arnaud (1772-1855) Tandonnet, sons of Arnaud Tandonnet, a merchant from Civac, near Bordeaux. They were succeeded by Jean-Baptiste's sons, Jean-Hyppolite (1807-1887) and Victor (1815-1843), themselves succeeded by Jean-Hyppolite's sons, Jean-Paul (1839-1911) and Maurice (1844-1906).
In 1911, the last Tandonnet ships were merged by the shipowner Ballande, also from Bordeaux, with Voiliers de Nouméa to form Compagnie Navale et Commerciale de l'Océanie (CNCO).
