Born into a family of shopkeepers in Burgundy, Thierry Bridron was just seven years old when he discovered the fabulous world of professional pastry-making.
After learning his trade with Pierre Mauduit, he joined the pastry team at Fauchon, where he worked alongside Pierre Hermé. Over his seven years there, rigor and open-mindedness were the brigade’s guiding lights.
He then moved on to work in hotels, starting out as a chef at the Hôtel Scribe.
A couple of years later, he joined the legendary Hôtel Lutetia on the left bank of the Seine River in Paris. There, he led a brigade of 14 pastry chefs.
