Les Toques Blanches Lyonnaises (lit. 'Lyon White Hats') is an organization that was founded in 1936 by 7 renowned chefs from the Lyon area, including the founder and first president of the organization, Marius Vettard.[1][2][3] The organization's goals are to unite cooks and pastry chefs to preserve and maintain the culinary history and traditions of Lyon, including the mâchon, the Mères Lyonnaises, bouchons, and Lyon's Michelin-Starred restaurants.[4] It also aims to promote Lyonnais gastronomy and regional products.[5]
