Chef Fabien Ferré wins three Michelin stars in one fell swoop, an extremely rare achievement. La Table du Castellet is backed by a very luxurious hotel, a five-star hotel between Toulon and Marseille.

The other big winner this year is the restaurant Le Gabriel by Jérôme Banctel in Paris. A record number of 52 new restaurants obtained a first badge, with a clear concentration in Paris, the south-east and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
