Régis Marcon's stature will be familiar to the Michelin guide faithful. Beyond its hallowed walls he's not a household name. His hotel-restaurant at Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid (with a population of just 228) perches on a hilltop, almost 4, 000ft above sea level. Lyon, the nearest big town, is over an hour's drive away. Locally, he's more than a famous chef-patron. He employs about a quarter of the village. An ex-maître d' owns the café. His brother is mayor. Another brother is the region's MP. Son Jacques is both a partner and his head chef. The community revolves around him. He even bakes the bread, selling it at the government-regulated price. His third Michelin star came in 2005, when his Relais & Châteaux property was in the main street. Since then, he has built a luxury eco-hostelry overlooking the rolling Auvergne landscape.
