Already a celebrity in its own right, the flagship of Paul Bocuse, the Pope of French cuisine, no longer needs introducing. In its ideal setting, the red and green temple of the Auberge de Collonges-au- Mont d’Or is located close to Lyon, the well-named “Capital of gastronomy”, and has shone in the firmament with its Michelin three star rating for 50 years.
Paul Bocuse, the great chef and businessman, was no miser with the praise he showered on his fellow travellers, “his friends”, other great chefs that have accompanied him, such as Point, Troisgros, and many others: French and international chefs like Raymond Olivier, Alain Chapel, James Beard, Shizuo Tsuji, the Best Worker of France honoris causa. He also wanted to honour women, the “Lyonnais mothers”: the Mères Brazier and Fillioux.
