The Michelin Guide, known for its stringent evaluation standards in the restaurant industry, indicated the decision aimed to reflect the evolving quality of the restaurant's offerings. Gwendal Poullenec, the director of the Michelin Guide, praised Georges for transforming the family inn into a distinguished culinary destination. Georges Blanc has experienced a significant portion of his life with three stars, showcasing an impressive culinary journey marked by numerous national accolades including France's Legion of Honour.

In addition to his flagship restaurant, Blanc manages a collection of other dining establishments, hotels, and shops. Michelin's tradition dates back to 1900, aiming to inspire travel and promote dining experiences, with the annual star awarding ceremony set for later this month.
