La Bastide Bruno Oger

Villa Archange – Bistrot des Anges

The renaissance of an ancient edificeThe Domaine Notre-Dame-des-Anges owes its name to the 16th-century chapel found on the site.

The Chavanne de Dalmassy and Cosmétatos residences on the estate were most likely built in the 18th

century. In 1820, the estate was the property of Jean Carbonel, great-grandfather of Alice Chavanne de

Dalmassy. A document dating from this period establishes the presence of a stable, a courtyard, the

chapel, a house, two orange groves, and an oil mill.

In the beginning, there was only one property.

Over the course of this century, the property saw several

tenants, including an American prior to World War II, who

restored the old stable and converted it into a house. This

residence thereafter became Maison Cosmétatos through the

marriage of Alice Chavanne de Dalmassy’s sister.

The separation of the estate was made more pronounced by the

construction of a wall beside the Chavanne de Dalmassy house,

the unhappy fruit of a disagreement between Mr. Cosmétatos

and his sister-in-law. Mrs. Chavanne de Dalmassy took great

interest in the culinary arts and even authored a cookbook. Her

life’s companion, James de Coquet, was a culinary columnist for

Le Figaro newspaper. Mrs. Chavanne de Dalmassy held onto the

estate until her death, when it was passed on by bequest to the

City of Le Cannet.

Today, a new beginning for the estate.

The A3 Studio architectural firm in Mandelieu worked in close cooperation with the national Architecte

des Bâtiments de France (as, it must be remembered, the estate perimeter is a listed historic site) .

One year after laying the foundation stone on May 16, 2009, the Bastide opened to much celebration on

May 7, 2010, with no fewer than 500 guests, including three-star chefs Georges Blanc and Anne-Sophie

Pic as the establishment’s “godfather and godmother,” Michèle Tabarot, Deputy Mayor of Le Cannet,

and ex Cannes Film Festival President Gilles Jacob.

The entire establishment represents 1,400m² of buildings on wooded grounds stretching over 5,000m², all

just 10 minutes from Cannes on a main road well-served by public transport.

The renaissance of an ancient edifice

Bruno Oger, the rise of a great Chef

Bruno Oger was born on May 9, 1966, in Morbihan in

northwestern France. He fell in love with cuisine at the

tender age of 12, decided to make it his future career, and

swore that one day he would work in a Michelin Guide three-

star restaurant. He earned his CAP (vocational training

certificate) in 1983, then his cuisine BEP (technical school

certificate) from the Lycée Hôtelier de Dinard in Brittany.

When he was 21, he landed two interviews on the same day

with two of France’s greatest chefs, Paul Bocuse and Georges

Blanc. He thus kept the promise he had made to himself and

chose to work in Vonnas, Bresse, with Georges Blanc at his

prestigious three-star restaurant.

In 1989, Georges Blanc gave Bruno the opportunity to

represent him and manage the kitchens at Normandy, one of

the restaurants at Bangkok’s Oriental Hotel (one of the

world’s most beautiful luxury hotels) and that is how, at 23

years of age, Bruno Oger came to oversee a team of 15 cooks.

In 1993, he returned to join Georges Blanc as executive chef.

In 1995, he was recruited to manage the

kitchens at a luxury hotel on La Croisette in

Cannes. On his 29th birthday and the day

before the start of the Cannes Film Festival, he

opened the La Villa des Lys restaurant, a

Mecca of gourmet dining for discerning

connoisseurs.

In 1997, he was awarded a first star in the

Michelin Guide. Three years later, the Chef

earned a score of 18/20 and was voted Best

Chef of the Year by the Gault-Millau

gastronomy guide.

On May 16, 2003, he personally received the

Chevalier des Arts et Lettres medal from Jean-

Jacques Aillagon, Minister for Culture and

Communication.

In 2005, he was given a second star in the Michelin

Guide. His talent and inventiveness were now

recognized by his peers and the gourmet culinary

press.

Bruno Oger plays a major role in the Cannes Film

Festival. He has produced the most important

official dinners, including those celebrating the

festival’s 50th, 60th , 65th, 66th, 67th, 68th & 69th

anniversaries.

On May 16, 2009, in the presence of Michèle

Tabarot, Deputy Mayor of Le Cannet, and Sub-

Prefect Claude Serra, he set the foundation stone

for his undertaking in Le Cannet on the French

Riviera.

On February 28, 2011, only 10 months after the

inauguration, the Chef ’s got two Michelin stars at

“La Villa Archange”

On March 2016, Villa Archange became a member

of the beautiful family “Relais & Chateaux”.
