The pioneering chef, who is often referred to as he “pope of French cuisine”, died in the town of Collonges-au-Mont-d’or where he was born and where he ran his main luxury restaurant, which has three Michelin stars.
“Much more than a father and husband, he is a man of heart, a spiritual father, an emblematic figure of world gastronomy and a French flagship who is gone,” said a statement from his wife and children.
