A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER OF VATEL BORDEAUX

Régis Glorieux

Ever since Vatel Bordeaux was created, I have sought to uphold what I consider to be essential values in education – rigor, excellence, ambition, consideration for others and respect – among our students, teachers and the professionals who work with us.

With our international classes dedicated to English-speaking students, we focus on providing multicultural top-class education to future professionals in the Hospitality, Tourism and Wine & Spirits industries.

By participating in international competitions such as the “Hospitality Awards”, creating a Hospitality Lab, organizing the annual FUTURUM (Forum on the future of hospitality and catering), launching the Bordeaux International Wine & Spirits Academy, managing the only hospitality management school in France integrating a 4-star ‘’European Eco-labelled’’ Hotel, Vatel Bordeaux continues to innovate and invest for the good of its students, teachers and administrative staff, partners and all those we have the opportunity to work with.

We are proud to welcome future professionals to Bordeaux.
