He quit Royal Hotel and started working there at 24. He changed the name to La Pyramide after a nearby Roman pyramid that had marked the turn of a chariot racetrack.<br /> <br /> Point was strict and unforgiving in the kitchen, but he was known to play pranks on his patrons and visitors (often with [[Paul Bocuse]] as his apprentice and wing-man). Parisian high society visitors would find themselves ushered into the kitchen, pushed into a corner, and fed one of Point&#039;s dishes under the pretense of being asked to evaluate the readiness of the offering while Bocuse, hidden underneath a prep table, whitewashed the heels of their shoes.<br /> <br /> Postmen and visiting locals fared not much better; in one famous stunt Point ordered Bocuse to paint the bicycle of a visiting [[gendarme]] pink while Point distracted his visitor.<br /> <br /> After Point&#039;s death, his widow, Mado, carried on and maintained the restaurant&#039;s 3-star rating for many years.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}}<br /> <br /> ==Present time==<br /> The restaurant changed hands and fell off the Michelin ratings, but after chef [[Patrick Henriroux]] took it over, it gained one Michelin star after a year and has two Michelin stars now.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{commonscat|Restaurant La Pyramide}}<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Coord|45.5165417|4.86700556|type:landmark_region:FR-38|format=dms|display=title}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Pyramide, la}}<br /> [[Category:Michelin-starred restaurants in France]]<br /> [[Category:Isère]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{France-restaurant-stub}}</div>
