A few words about Pastry Chef

Specializing in the preparation of sweets and in particular a vocational diploma in baking and pastry making, Marie the “young prodigy” of her field, trained in prestigious facilities with big names in the pastry industry.
This experience allowed her to meet inspiring professionals such as Benoît Couvrand and Nicolas Paciello.
After a year at the Hotel Burgundy, where she discovered haute patisserie, Marie Simon worked for 5 years with Lilian Bonnefoi at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes in the summer seasons and then in the winter at Apogée and K2 Palace in Courchevel .
With these experiences, Marie tried and won the Mondial des Arts Sucrés in 2018, supervised by Lilian Bonnefoi and Thierry
Bamas – Meilleur Ouvrier de France Pâtissier, who helped her perfect her technique.
