At the age of 18, in July 2011, it was another family house that welcomed Jean-Paul: La Cheneaudière, with chefs Roger Bouhassoun and Daniel Stein.
Trust was quickly established between them, as well as a beautiful friendly complicity.
He became their sous chef in 2016, at the age of 24.
Eager to enrich his experience, Jean-Paul headed for Provence with a first experience at the Michelin-starred Relais & Châteaux le Prieuré in Villeneuve les Avignon.
This was followed by three exceptional years at the Oustau de Baumanière- Relais & Châteaux, as sous-chef to Glenn Viel when the chef obtained the grail with the 3rd Michelin star (January 2020).
In the spring of 2021, it is with great emotion that Jean-Paul takes over from Chef Roger Bouhassoun, making his other mentor, Frédéric Kempf, proud.
In October 2024, Jean-Paul was awarded the prestigious title of ‘Grand de Demain’ by the famous Gault&Millau culinary guide. A real accolade for him and his team. The 2026 edition of the guide also awarded him a mark of 14/20 and two Toques.
Finally, on 31 March 2025, the Michelin Guide awarded Jean-Paul Acker his first star for the gastronomic restaurant ‘Le Feuillage’ (formerly Table des Chefs).
Jean-Paul is at the head of a team of 20 people.
Since the beginning of 2024, he has been offering you the chance to discover his cuisine in one of the hotel's 2 restaurants:
- Gourmet restaurant ‘Le Chêne
- Gastronomic restaurant ‘Le Feuillage’ (1* Michelin, 14/20 and 2 toques Gault & Millau)
