He is also about to embark on a new adventure since he is the first personality chosen by Laury Thilleman for her first issue of Rendez-vous en terre inconnue. They will both fly to the southern lands of Chile. “We are going to meet the last Gauchos.

Cyril Lignac's ex-partner created the “trendy entrepreneur” that he became

The opportunity for our colleagues at Télérama to look back at Cyril Lignac's success. The great chef can count on a closed circle of close friends who watch over his business. Among them, is his ex-partner, Laurence Mentil, who holds the position of general manager of the group of Cyril Lignac. She created “the trendy entrepreneur“, confided a person who worked with the duo for several years.

She makes a point of honor to watch over the brand image of Mercotte's accomplice. She says she refuses “95% of requests for commercial collaboration or partnership“. “We could have opened many more restaurants over the last twenty years. But we don't want that to get away from us“, she confided.

Cyril Lignac's ex-partner does not accept any injustice towards him

All interview requests go through her. Laurence Mentil controls everything. While journalists from Télérama contacted former employees of Cyril Lignac, the group's CEO warned them. She asked them not to “commit any injustice to Cyril“.

It was she who traveled to Dubai to validate the decoration choices of the restaurant that will soon open. She leaves nothing to chance when it comes to the image of her ex-partner with whom she has kept strong ties. Their professional relationship seems to work very well.
