He expressed his delight by declaring: "It's the culmination of all these years of work. This competition has been a wonderful experience, with an excellent atmosphere among the candidates and a particularly high standard. And today, above all, it's an immense source of pride to win the title of Champion."

In the Junior category, Lucie Billon, a student at École Ferrandi on the Rennes campus, came out on top with her dessert Hent ar Blaz. She confided: "I don't realize it yet, I'm still on cloud nine. Over the last few months, I've worked extremely hard, at the cost of many short nights. I didn't expect to take first place, but this victory is a wonderful reward."

Tight results

In 4 hours and 50 minutes, the candidates had to create two plated desserts for ten people: a "basket" dessert and a selection dessert, the latter enabling them to reach the national final after the regional selections. Jury president Franck Putelat commented: "Thecompetition was particularly rewarding this year, with sixteen desserts as creative as they were unusual. The level was remarkable, especially among the professionals, where the results were extremely close."

The podium in the Professional category was completed by Anne-Louise Durieupeyroux of The Peninsula Hotel in Paris and Marc Jacquet of La Chèvre d'Or in Èze. In the Junior category, Tara Launay from École Ferrandi Paris and Lola Creux from Lycée Hôtelier Lesdiguières in Grenoble took second and third place respectively.
