In 1991, he started working as a chef assistant for ten months at the Palais de l'Élysée during his military service. He worked notably with Bernard Vaussion, sous-chef at that time. After having worked with famous other chefs for several years (Bruno Cirino, Yves Camdeborde, Christian Constant, Alain Ducasse), he became the chef of the restaurant Les Ambassadeurs at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, not hesitating on mixing the codes of the palace with popular cuisine.
In 2009, he started a new project and created with his colleague Thierry Costes a place with a unique personality in Paris. The domain of Thoumieux is declined in different places : the Brasserie Thoumieux (2009), the restaurant Jean-François Piège (2010) and the Hôtel Thoumieux (2011).
