"This Bourg-en-Bresse native whose ancestors used to make lemonade and sell coal has come a long way! That said, Georges Blanc's grandmother was once named best cook in the world by food writer Curnonsky. Nowadays the chef is at the head of a small empire in Vonnas. Out of a 100m2 house, he has built an estate of several hectares: the illuminated village gardens and houses are a magical sight at night. But the show also takes place at your table, where the Bresse province is represented by its emblematic poularde AOP, and deep-flavoured sauces and skilful cooking techniques come into their own. Georges Blanc is the oldest Michelin-starred establishment in the world, having received its first star in 1929. It will also delight fans of fine wines, with a wine list to make Bacchus blush." - Michelin Inspector
"In 1902, Mère Blanc (Élisa Blanc) opened La Mere Blanc in Vonnas (65km outside Lyon), which was one of the very first restaurants to receive Two MICHELIN Stars." - Sophie Friedman
"A three-Michelin-star establishment in Vonnas, France where Schlosser apprenticed alongside restaurateur Georges Blanc; the training there underscores the idea that a strong teacher and the right environment are foundational to a chef’s development, setting high standards for technique, discipline, and professional expectations that shaped Schlosser’s later career." - Eater Video
