Bacquie began his training in hospitality at the age of 16 in France. He chose to pursue a career in the back of the house, although his original studies were in restaurant management. After he graduated, he moved back to his home island of Corsica. He worked in restaurants there for 12 years and was awarded his first two Michelin stars in the process. He later moved to France to work at the Monte Cristo, which was renamed to Le Castellet to honor Bacquie's time there.
