FIRST OPENING OF THE BOUTIQUE IN LYON BY MAURICE BERNACHON

BERNACHON ORIGINS

FIRST OPENING OF THE BOUTIQUE IN LYON BY MAURICE BERNACHON

At the origin of a great house, there is always the stubbornness of a man, his exclusive passion, his decisions, the firmness of his principles, a requirement never found wanting. Maurice Bernachon had the spirit of perfection.

 

BERNACHON SINCE HIS VIDEO DEBUT

 1969

WEDDING OF JEAN-JACQUES BERNACHON AND FRANÇOISE BOCUSE

Jean-Jacques Bernachon was born on October 27, 1944.
In 1966, Jean Jacques left to work in Amsterdam for six months with Bensdorp, then, in 1968, we found him in Paul Bocuse's brigade. It was on June 19, 1969 that the marriage of Françoise Bocuse and Jean Jacques Bernachon was celebrated.

 1975

CREATION OF THE “PRESIDENT”

THE PRESIDENT'S STORY

CREATION OF THE “PRESIDENT”

The “President”, the most famous cake from Maison Bernachon, is a real creation, with a singular origin. Indeed, in February 1975, Paul Bocuse was to receive the Legion of Honor from the hands of President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.
For the meal of this great occasion, Maurice Bernachon and Paul Bocuse want to arrive at the Elysée with an absolutely original delicacy. It will be the “President”, specially created for the occasion (the 1st for 20 people weighed 3 kg!).
40 years later, the "President" still delights gourmets around the world.

 1989

OPENING OF THE BERNACHON PASSION TEA ROOM

OPENING OF THE BERNACHON PASSION TEA ROOM

In this place adjacent to the shop, a clientele of connoisseurs tastes small dishes simmered in the tradition of the house, the Lyonnaise tradition. Veal liver and fish, in particular, are a delight.
Take the time to come and enjoy a hot chocolate.
