Camille Lesecq

Pastry Chef, Camille Lesecq's vocation was born in his uncle's aromatic pastry shop, where he loved to spend childhood vacations. Diploma in hand, the young apprentice left his native Normandy to join the staff of his mentor, Christophe Felder. His curiosity, tenacity and creativity were quickly noticed: he became a second in just three years. Named Pastry Chef at Le Meurice in 2004, he now heads a team of 14 people. A subtle blend of aromas characterizes the desserts of this perfectionist, who admits that he is "always questioning himself". He draws inspiration from the world around him: he might come up with a new idea or flavor combination as he is rollerblading around Paris. "I love to take inspiration from the secrets of tiny pastry shops that I discover completely by chance". His latest creation is the Pomme d'Amour (Love Apple) that he invented for Valentine's day. "I am always trying to suprise", explains Camille Lesecq, for whom a good dessert is "one that is remembered for a long time afterwards."
