Paul Bocuse took over from his father Georges in 1956, earning his first Michelin star in 1958, a second in 1962, then a third in 1965.[4] The restaurant lost its 3-star rating in the 2020 Michelin Guide after holding it for a record 55 years; the downgrade back to two Michelin stars following Bocuse's death soon became controversial.[5][6]
