His mother, Marguerite Bise was a chef and restaurateur at Auberge du Père Bise in Talloires, Haute-Savoie,[1] and one of the first women to win three Michelin stars.[2]

Francois Bise trained under the father of modern French cuisine, Fernand Point.[3]

In 1968 he became head chef at Auberge du Père Bise, his mother having died in 1965.[4] He once again won three stars for the restaurant during the 1970s.[5][6]

Bise died in 1983 of cancer.[4] His wife, Charlyne, continues to run the restaurant and his daughter, Sophie Bise, won back their third Michelin star when she was only 21.[4]
