This demotion goes very badly in the world of French gastronomy, and especially in the Lyon region. Almost two years to the day after the disappearance of Paul Bocuse, his Inn learned Thursday evening that it would lose its third Michelin star, after 55 years of reign. His restaurant has just published his reaction via a press release this Friday.
Recalling the launch of "tradition on the move" three months ago, this one does not hide its shock: "Although upset by the inspectors' judgment, there is one thing that we never want to lose is the soul of Monsieur Paul. Paul Bocuse was a visionary, a free man, a force of nature, and it is in this spirit that we have built the new experience that we have been orchestrating since October. From Collonges and from the bottom of our hearts, we will continue to bring the Sacred Fire to life with audacity, enthusiasm, excellence and a certain form of freedom. ”

Questioned by BFM TV, chef Marc Veyrat, currently at the heart of a legal battle against the red guide, thus denounced a “pathetic” decision: “It is anything. They are incompetent people who judge us, they want to erase the entire Bocuse generation. ”
I know how his teams, following him, perpetuated the qualities of requirement, creativity and the values of generosity which were his. I share their emotion.
