i. Biography
Formed at Lycée hôtelier de Dinard, Olivier Samson brings hotel-school discipline into a practice that is compact, purposeful, and controlled. The line from Dinard to Vannes is easy to follow; what matters is how that formation now supports La Table at Domaine du Liziec. In a trade where careers can scatter across addresses and identities, Samson’s reads differently: one education, one house, and a present tense built around stewardship, direction, and the daily work of service.
The Path
Hospitality training at Lycée hôtelier de Dinard gave Olivier Samson the groundwork for a career that still carries that school’s imprint. The formation is only the starting point, but it remains central to how his work is read. Since 2024, Olivier is chef executive of the dining venues of Domaine du Liziec, chef of La Table, and Executive Chef of Le Bistro by Décotterd. Taken together, those roles point to a chef whose remit extends beyond one room: setting standards, holding the line across venues, and keeping service consistent under a single direction. The movement from Dinard to Vannes gives the career its structure. Training and place are not separate stories here; they work together.
The Work Today
At Domaine du Liziec in Vannes, France, the work centers on the dining venues and, above all, on La Table, where Olivier Samson’s role since 2024 sits at the core of the house’s culinary identity. The titles are precise: chef executive of the dining venues of Domaine du Liziec (since 2024), chef of La Table (since 2024), and Executive Chef of Le Bistro by Décotterd. Together they describe a chef balancing oversight with detail, moving between kitchens while keeping the standard fixed on consistency, character, and guest experience.
