About the Chef
Pierre Reboul has worked alongside some of the biggest names in French cuisine, such as Michel Chabran and Jacques Pic. At the restaurant L’Absinthe in Paris, Michel Rostang gave him his first role as Chef. This was an opportunity for Pierre Reboul to present a cuisine that reflected his approach: singular, surprising, energetic and generous…
In 1996, he left the French capital to return to the Drôme, where it all began with Chef Chabran, working in the kitchens of Rive Gauche in Tain l’Hermitage. His characteristic boldness can be seen in the dishes he creates, which combine his desire to surprise with a search for the perfect harmony between tastes, flavours and textures.
A passionate restaurateur and curious traveller, he left to discover Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (Le Vallon de Valrugues), and then Aix-en-Provence. Here he opened his gastronomic restaurant, which was first located in the city centre, and is now at Château de la Pioline, a characterful Provençal building nestled in a four-hectare park.

For three years, Pierre Reboul is the apprentice of Michel Chabran, in Pont-de-l'Isère in the Drôme.
