Chefs and good restaurants

Coming from a long line of restaurateurs (the Pic family), Anne-Sophie Pic won her third Michelin star, in 2007, for her gourmet restaurant in Valence. She became the only woman in France to be awarded three stars. She cooks contemporary dishes imbued with respect, tradition and simplicity.
