La Chèvre d'Or is a Relais & Châteaux hotel located in the medieval city of Èze in the south of France, and is housed in a medieval castle rebuilt in the 1920s.[1] The restaurant has two Michelin stars.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]First private property, it was called the Château de la Chèvre d'Or by one of its purchasers at the beginning of 20th century, the Yugoslav violinist Zlatko Baloković.[3] It became a gourmet restaurant then a hotel in the 1950s. The hotelier Robert Wolf, impressed by the castle, bought it in 1953, and transformed it into a restaurant.[4] The hotel received more attention after the arrival of Walt Disney.[4] Then, Robert Wolf gradually acquired private houses and transformed them into individual hotel rooms. The hotel became one of the 6 stages of "La Route du Bonheur" founded in 1954 by Marcel Tilloy as part of the Relais & Châteaux chain.[4][5]
The place is frequently visited by celebrities such as actors and directors, especially during the Cannes Film Festival.[6][7][8]
In 2007, a scene in The Bucket List movie was shot at the hotel.[9]
Hotel
[edit | edit source]The hotel offers 40 rooms and suites, all of which have a different style. The suites are named after famous figures who stayed in the region, such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean Cocteau.[citation needed]
The castle has terraced gardens, medieval buildings, alleys, houses with exposed stones and a panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea.[10]
Restaurant
[edit | edit source]The restaurant opened in 1953. It obtained its first Michelin star in 1975. Jean-Marc Delacourt became the chef in 1998, he brought a second Michelin star in 2000.[11][12]
From 2003 to 2009, the kitchens were run by Philippe Labbé. In 2010, Fabrice Vulin took over the kitchens of the various restaurants of the Chèvre d'Or. Ronan Kervarrec, a time his second, succeeded him a few years later.[13] Since July 2016, the restaurant has been run by Arnaud Faye.[14][15]
