Self-made chefs, René and Maxime Meilleur

Self-made chefs, René and Maxime Meilleur

Self-taught from father to son. Not out of conviction or dogma, but out of necessity. René, the father, because he had to work and thought it would be a good idea to build a hut on his piece of the mountain to feed the skiers. Maxime, the son, because this top-level biathlete had to give up his sport at the age of 21, due to a lack of success. Self-taught then, but at home, because it's in this context that you can take the time to do what you want - including making mistakes - to question yourself, to dream too. That's how, one thing leading to another, René and Maxime Meilleur have built - practically with their own hands - a top-flight hotel and restaurant, now showered with honours and awards.
