A true gourmand at heart, his creations reflect his personality, and are passionate, dynamic, and creative. Throughout his career, Florent has always been inspired by his environment and local ingredients, so his new menus will be influenced by the lush 17 acres (7 hectares) of gardens and surrounding Mediterranean terroir at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel. With Executive Chef Yoric Tièche and his team, Florent will conceive new pastry creations that perfectly embody the French Riviera Palace’s spirit.
Originally from the French Alps, Florent began his career in the hotel and restaurant industry, by studying hotel management at the Hotel School of Grenoble. During his time there, he decided to follow his true passion, which has been the art of pastry since he was a child, and switched careers to become a chef.
