L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges (pronounced as /fr/), also known as Paul Bocuse (pronounced as /fr/) or simply Bocuse, is a restaurant in the town of Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or north of Lyon, France.[1] Its chef was Paul Bocuse, who made it one of the most famous restaurants in the world.[2] Bocuse died in 2018 in the same room above his restaurant in which he was born in 1926, back when it was his grandparents' restaurant.[3]
Paul Bocuse took over from his father Georges in 1956, earning his first Michelin star in 1958, a second in 1962, then a third in 1965.[4] The restaurant lost its 3-star rating in the 2020 Michelin Guide after holding it for a record 55 years; the downgrade back to two Michelin stars following Bocuse's death soon became controversial.[5] [6]
