The 28-year-old French chef triumphed in the prestigious culinary competition, 30 years after his father, Régis Marcon, achieved the same honor.

Paul Marcon, representing France, secured victory in the 2025 Bocuse d’Or, held at the Sirha in Lyon, defeating Denmark and Sweden.
This marks France's ninth win in the competition's history, solidifying its position as the most decorated nation in the event since its inception in 1987.
