The Chief
Jean-François Bérard

Born in the heart of Provence with parents who had just taken over the business. After a year at the Lenôtre School, Jean-François worked for a few months at the Pré Catalan where he learned to to master, alongside Frédéric Anton, the purity of the preparation, the accuracy of the cooking and the regularity. Returning to the Hostellerie in 2003, it was natural that Jean-François Bérard joined his father in the kitchen. Together, they won the Michelin star in 2006 for the restaurant and in 2020, the ecological and sustainable approach was rewarded by the green star and the effort of the garden of the Bastide des Saveurs.

In 2020, the restaurant becomes "René'Sens by Jean-François Bérard".
René, in homage to his father, whose torch he took over 14 years ago and who passed on to him the love of cooking, the respect of local products... The starting point of his story.
Sense, like the five senses that Jean-François sublimates in his cooking.

"In the kitchen, you have to start from scratch every day because a garden lives 24 hours a day. "
It is by following this maxim that together and as a family, they give life to this magical place where they cultivate the exceptional every day.
