Troisgros family
Troisgros (French pronunciation: [tʁwaɡʁo]) is a French restaurant and hotel with a primary location in Ouches (Loire, France) and additional affiliated restaurants in Roanne and Iguerande, in France.
It started in 1930 as a restaurant located in Roanne, held by Jean-Baptiste Troisgros and his wife Marie, then by their sons Jean and Pierre under the name of Les Frères Troisgros in 1957, and finally by their grandson Michel, owner of the current Le Bois sans feuilles restaurant in Ouches. It has been awarded three Michelin stars since 1968.
The hotel (five stars) has been a member of Relais & Châteaux since 1966.
Jean-Baptiste Troisgros (1898–1974) and his wife Marie Badaut (1900–1968), lemonade makers of Burgundian origin, ran the Café des négociants in Chalon-sur-Saône in Burgundy. They had three children: Jean (born 2 December 1926 in Chalon-sur-Saône), Pierre (born 3 September 1928 in Chalon-sur-Saône) and Madeleine (born 17 June 1935 in Roanne). In 1930, the Troisgros family settled in Roanne, on the borders of Burgundy, the Rhône Valley and Auvergne, on National Highway #7 (Route nationale 7), then a major highway. They bought the Hôtel-Restaurant des Platanes located in front of the train station, but did not own the property, which the family rented for 86 years.
The couple were entirely self-taught, and their restaurant offered a regional, bourgeois and friendly atmosphere. Marie Troisgros was in the kitchen while Jean-Baptiste took care of the room and cellar. Their cuisine was simple, "sincere and true", and hiding the flavor and quality of products with sauces or concealing them under bulky decorations was out of the question. The great wines of Burgundy, dear to Jean-Baptiste, were honored.
Quickly gaining notoriety, they renamed their business and restaurant Hôtel Moderne in 1935.
Their two sons, Jean and Pierre, were brought up in the almost sacred eulogies of the great French cuisine. At 15, both entered the kitchen almost "as one enters religion".[quote needs citation] Jean was trained in Paris, Pierre at the Hôtel du Golf in Étretat in Normandy; he also worked in Saint-Jean-de-Luz in the Basque Country. In 1948, Pierre Troisgros did his military service with the 62nd African Artillery Regiment in Tunis.
After receiving their professional certification (CAP [Certificat d'aptitude professionnelle]), the brothers worked together at Lucas Carton, a prestigious restaurant of the place de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement of Paris with the great chef Gaston Richard. They formed a lasting friendship there with fellow chef Paul Bocuse.
