For 80 years, Elle & Vire® has placed transmission at the heart of its identity.

Heritage, expertise, partnerships and Ambassadeurs: every facet of the brand carries the same values of sharing, excellence, technical mastery and innovation.

The passing on of a technique, a skill, a standard of Excellence. The passing on of a passion, a vision, and sometimes even a dream.

To mark this anniversary, Chefs from around the world wanted to speak out to send a message to the brand and share, in a few words, what Elle & Vire® means to them.

Through inspiring duos, discover stories of mentorship, apprenticeship and sharing.

Among them:

  1. Pierre Gagnaire (Culinary Chef, multi-starred, and Elle & Vire Professionnel Partner since 2005) and Sébastien Faré (Executive Culinary Chef at La Maison de l’Excellence), who demonstrate the importance of passing on a respect for ingredients and the constant pursuit of Excellence.
  2. Jérôme de Oliveira (World Pastry Champion 2009) and Yoan Palamara (2007 candidate for Team France for the World Pastry Cup), who share much more than a passion for pastry: a mentor-protégé relationship that continues today through their journey in the World Pastry Cup.
  3. Maxime Guérin (Pastry Chef at La Maison de l’Excellence and Head of the pastry laboratory) and Simone Rodemund (Apprentice Pastry Chef at La Maison de l’Excellence), who embody the passing on of expertise in everyday life through the relationship between an apprenticeship supervisor and his apprentice.

Discover the stories, testimonials and encounters with the Chefs who are shaping the future of the profession.
