Some of the great names of French cuisine have come from Normandy, a gourmet region par excellence. Gaston Lenôtre, the famous pastry chef, Auguste Félix Fauchon, who founded one of the finest delicatessens in the world, and Michel Bruneau, a famous master chef who now works at La Mère Poulard, the best-known restaurant at the Mont-Saint-Michel, all hail from Normandy.
