Nestled in the heart of the Alpilles, the domain of Baumani\u00e8re is located at the foot of the famous village of Les Baux-de-Provence. Approaching its eightieth year, this institution has hosted the global elite \u2013 including Queen Elizabeth of England in 1965 \u2013 and celebrities continue to grace its premises. Adorned with three stars with the arrival of Chef Glenn Viel, Oustau de Baumani\u00e8re ranks among the finest gastronomic establishments.<\/h4>\n

LUXUS MAGAZINE: If we create an anagram of your name, it spells \u201cadrenaline.\u201d Does that correspond to your personality?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jean-Andr\u00e9 Charial: That\u2019s amusing! Indeed, I am a passionate person; I am 78 years old and still filled with enthusiasm and projects. I am beginning to think that all of this could come to an end. My grandfather, Raymond Thuilier, passed away at 97. Ideally, I would like to die in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LUXUS MAGAZINE: Do you enjoy working with your family?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jean-Andr\u00e9 Charial: My grandfather initiated this venture in 1945, the year of my birth. A sign, perhaps? My daughter Marie-No\u00eblie was born on December 24, Christmas Eve. She works with me. Now, she has just had a baby and is dedicating all her attention to it. It\u2019s a different generation that does not sacrifice family life as I may have done! My wife Genevi\u00e8ve, 72 years old, oversees the work, takes care of decoration, gardens, the boutique, and more.<\/p>\n

LUXUS MAGAZINE: You invited Chef Glenn Viel to join Baumani\u00e8re. In 2020, Oustau de Baumani\u00e8re regained its third star, initially obtained in 1954, lost in 1990 after holding it for thirty-six years. What does that change for you?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jean-Andr\u00e9 Charial: Oustau is almost always fully booked. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s due to the third star or Glenn\u2019s notoriety. He became a rock star by gaining recognition on Top Chef. He has many friends on social media and has brought in a new clientele. People love Glenn and are happy to take a photo with him. I invested 2.5 million euros to renovate the Oustau kitchen. A gift to Glenn for the third star! He enjoys great freedom to create new dishes and has an extraordinary working environment.<\/p>\n
