Grégory Doucet, mayor of Lyon
“It was with great emotion that I learned of the disappearance of Renée Richard. Lyon and its gastronomy are today losing an essential ambassador. Behind this famous name and these exceptional cheeses, a tireless worker, appreciated by all. His smile, his affability and his charm will forever be remembered. I am thinking today of his family, and of his teams at Halles Paul Bocuse.”
