Why Study Hospitality in France?

France – the land of good taste, of elegance, of joie de vivre and savoir-faire. The land of Michelin stars and palace hotels, of grand crus and the Bocuse d’Or. The home of luxury, style, beauty, and the arts. What better place to study hospitality than in its birthplace and the epicenter of modern lifestyle design?

Hospitality, a French Patrimony

French hospitality, gastronomy, and viniculture are legendary. The first modern restaurant opened here in the 18th Century, as did the first true hôtels. French food and French wine have been the standards against which all else has been measured for generations. The Côte d’Azur – the French Riviera - defined resort leisure in the 19th Century, while César Ritz and Auguste Escoffier created the standards of modern luxury in Paris at the beginning of the 20th Century. And Paul Bocuse spread the notion of French cuisine and the art of welcoming à la française around the globe a generation later.

But France is not just about tradition and heritage. The number one tourism destination worldwide, France is home to the world’s largest hospitality operator. The Riviera boasts the world’s top-rated restaurant. And Paris is ranked the world’s most important city for meetings and events. Designers like Philippe Starck, Pierre Yves Rochon, and Jacques Garcia have been at the epicenter of the global lifestyle revolution in hospitality. The start-up scene is vigorous in France, a top ten country for innovation, with hospitality new business ideas ranging from transformational resort developments to glamping.
