Langon (AFP) – In France, south of Bordeaux, the Maison Claude Darroze restaurant is fully booked. The eatery, a well-known spot for Girondine gastronomy for decades, has gambled on dropping its Michelin star status. “Starting a strategy with more attractive prices, of course, inevitably affects the wallet, brings more flow, more people coming,” says restaurant owner Jean-Charles Darroze.
