The northern chef, Florent Ladeyn. - F. Launay / 20 Minutes

It is one of the emblematic figures of Lille gastronomy. Finalist of Top Chef in 2011, Florent Ladeyn is undoubtedly the most media chef in the region. Owner of three restaurants in the capital of Flanders, the 30-year-old has just given unexpected support to Martine Aubry.

Candidate for a fourth municipal mandate in an uncertain second round against Stéphane Baly (EELV) and Violette Spillebout (LRM), the mayor of Lille met on Wednesday his support committee with some local personalities. Among them, Florent Ladeyn who explained his choice.

"Lille is a city where it is good to work and where it is good to live"

“Today if Lille is so attractive, if I can manage to restore, it's not just by chance. It is also the result of work that has been done upstream for years. Lille is a city where it is good to work and where it is good to live. So well done and thank you, ”said the chef to Martine Aubry. A declaration which will undoubtedly not be to the taste of the opponents of the mayor of Lille in the race for the belfry.
