In 2010, the French Ministry of Agriculture bestowed him with the title of, ‘Chevalier de l’Ordre du Merite Agricole’, for his contributions in promoting French cuisine outside of France.

Chef Jean-Charles is the youngest recipient out of only four French chefs in Singapore to have received this prestigious recognition.

The Sofitel Singapore City Centre is slated to open in July 2017.
