Life and career
Originating from a Basque farming family in Bayonne, Rosier's enthusiasm for culinary arts emerged early on. She commenced her hospitality education in Biarritz in 1994. Following the completion of her final qualifications, she embarked on her professional journey in 1998 as a kitchen assistant at Villa Eugénie, located within the Hôtel du Palais in Biarritz. In 2000, she advanced to work at the prestigious three-Michelin-starred Louis XV in Monaco under the guidance of Alain Ducasse. By 2001, she had been promoted to sous-chef at La Chèvre d'Or in Èze, collaborating with two-star chef Philippe Labbé. Between 2004 and 2008, Rosier held the position of sous-chef at L'Hippocampe, also within Hôtel du Palais, working alongside Jean-Marie Gautier.
At just 28 years old in 2007, Rosier achieved the distinction of becoming the first female to receive the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France. The following year, in 2008, she opened her own establishment named Les Rosiers in Biarritz, co-founded with her husband Stéphane Rosier. The restaurant was awarded its inaugural Michelin star in 2009.
