The 2019 Michelin Guide for France was released, featuring more young and female chefs than in past editions, reports The Connexion. Three stars were awarded to Laurent Petit, of the Clos des Sens restaurant, and Mauro Colagreco, of Mirazur. Both were lauded for receiving three stars at a relatively young age, and Colagreco even more so, for becoming the first foreign chef to be handed three stars in France. The guide also awarded new stars to more female-run restaurants than ever before, including Stéphanie Le Quellec, of La Scène; Amélie Darvas and Gaby Benicio, of Aponem; and Julia Sedefdjian of Baieta.
However, many restaurants were taken aback at the guide's rankings. One star each was taken from L'Auberge de l'Ill, by Marc Haeberlin at Illhaeusern; L'Astrance by Pascal Barbot in Paris; and La Maison des Bois, by Marc Veyrat in Manigod; leaving them with two stars apiece. Even more restaurants lost their second star, taking them down to one, including Carré des Feuillants by Alain Dutournier in Paris; Taillevent by David Bizet in Paris; and Oasis by Alain Montigny in Mandelieu-la-Napoule.
