COMPANY
Founded in Paris in 1895, today the presence of Le Cordon Bleu encompasses 26 international schools in 15 countries, attended by more than 18,000 students every year. The origin of the expression "Cordon Bleu" comes from the 1578 foundation of the Order of Knights of the Holy Spirit. The members of the order wore a medal suspended on a blue ribbon and their spectacular feasts became legendary.
Internationally recognized since the first years of its creation, the school received its first Russian student in 1897, then its first Japanese student in 1905. Its success was such that after 1945, it was the only school in France accredited by the United States for professional re-training of American soldiers under the GI Bill. In 1954, Audrey Hepburn came to Le Cordon Bleu Paris for the launch of her film Sabrina.
The Master Chefs of Le Cordon Bleu, of which the majority come from Michelin-starred restaurants or are winners of prestigious competitions, pass on their expertise each year to students from more than 70 countries. They teach the techniques and methods of cuisine, pastry and bread baking which have been codified in France over the last 500 years, and which are applicable to any world cuisine.
