At 14, he chose to make cooking his profession and enrolled at the CFA (chef training school) in Saint-Maximin, where he learned the craft, rigour and discipline required to chef in the greatest establishments. At the age of 18, he crossed paths with Benoît Witz at the Abbaye de La Celle, under the guidance of Alain Ducasse. The young apprentice found in Benoit a mentor who would forever shape his vision of true refined cuisine. Yvan’s path continued alongside some of the greatest names in French gastronomy: Jean-Marc Banzo at the Villa Madie in Cassis, Laurent Lemal at the Hôtel Riberach in Bélesta, Philippe Saurel, whom he assisted in Bandol and then in Marseille, and finally Thierry Balligand, who entrusted him with the position of sous-chef at the Pigonnet ***** five-star restaurant in Aix-en-Provence. Today, Yvan rejoins his mentor at the Bistrot restaurant at Lou Calen in Cotignac, where he expresses his craft through a simple and essentially authentic cuisine, faithful to the Provençal region and enriched with Italian and Thai culinary accents. ![Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-1](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-1.jpg) ![Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-2](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-2.jpg) ![Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-3](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-3.jpg) ![Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-4](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Yvan-Franceschi-et-Benoit-Witz-4.jpg) ![bistrot-lou-calen-cotignac-sept-3](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/bistrot-lou-calen-cotignac-sept-3.jpg) ![bistrot-lou-calen-cotignac-sept-4](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/bistrot-lou-calen-cotignac-sept-4.jpg) ![bistrot-lou-calen-cotignac-sept-5](https://www.loucalen.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/bistrot-lou-calen-cotignac-sept-5.jpg) ## The art of flame-grilled cooking In spring and summer, the wood-fired oven spits and crackles on the terrace, enjoying this element of masterful cooking.
