Chef Cyrille was born in Le Mans, France, and grew up on a farmstead in Arnage. It was here that he first foraged porcini and golden chanterelle mushrooms. As a youth, Cyrille’s mother often found him meddling in the kitchen. He credits his mother for first recognizing his culinary passion and, at the tender age of 16, securing him a three-year apprenticeship in one-Michelin-star restaurant Auberge des Mattfeux. This apprenticeship gave him a solid foundation in the rudiments of cooking and affirmed his desire to be a chef. Following Auberge des Mattfeux, he worked at the one-Michelin-star La Dariole de Viry, Viry-Châtillon.
Pannier’s hobbies revolve around exploring and nature-based activities, including gardening, walking, fishing and, when in sunny climates, scuba diving. When not in the hotel’s kitchen, he enjoys making breads, cheese, jams and liquers at home. He has an extensive collection of cookery books from the 18th and 19th centuries and enjoys concocting weird and wonderful ancient recipes, most recently one for brewing beer from nettles and Champagne from elderflower.
