Michel Trama
"Michel Trama and Puymirol have a long history. This former champion diver and student of the decorative arts in Montparnasse owes his true calling to love… for his wife Maryse. She is the one who introduced him to fine dining. After a string of odd jobs, he settled down and opened a bistro on rue Mouffetard in Paris, with a copy of Michel Guérard's "Cuisine Gourmande" to refer to. In 1979 he set up shop in this splendid 13C country house in Puymirol, in Lot-et-Garonne: you can sit under the medieval vaults or on the lovely terrace, in the old cloister... It is time to indulge in a cuisine that incorporates both tradition and invention in an unchanging menu that makes several references to this establishment's heyday." - Michelin Inspector
