You left us too soon - I often think of you and La Bonne Soupe, your family and the restaurant staff. In the difficult times we face in 2020, I hope they are all well. Someday, we will see each other again.

The memory of this good friend, and client, remains fresh. His generosity was unending. He was like a brother and one never forgets a brother.

Chère Monique,

I am an ancient " ancien élève" of the Lausanne ècole. I remember with great fondness the fondue parties Jean-Paul hosted at La Bonne Soupe. He was the most successful businessman of the Anciens. You and he both were always the exquisite hosts at your restaurant. My wife Edith still cherishes the Bonne Soupe cookbook Jean-Paul gave her. Everybody will forever miss this charming man.

Dear Monique,Yves & Francois, Jean Paul had perhaps the best sense of humor I ever encountered, which was only surpassed by his warmth and generosity as a host. He left this world a better place and will be truly missed by all.
My sincere condolences,
Chris Hines

Dear Monique, Francois and Yves; my sincere condolences to you all at this difficult time. I am so saddened to learn of the passing of Uncle Jean-Paul and wish I had the opportunity to have known him better. My Father has shared with me some wonderful life stories, their young lives together and into adulthood. I will remember his wonderful appetite for life and in particular his love and support for my Father and me.

I have known Jean-Paul Picot and his Family for close to 25 years. I am feeling very sad for Monique, Francois, Yves and their Family. All I can say is Jean-Paul Picot was not only "The pope of 55th Street", as we used to joke about it, but as we say it in French "Un Grand Monsieur". Please, receive my most sincere condoleences.

Nos sinceres condoléances de la part de toute la famille Flammang-Lederman, ainsi que de ma mère en Belgique. Mon père de son vivant aimait tellement parler avec Jean-Paul lors de son voyage bi-annuel sur NY. Que de bons souvenirs depuis 1989, un premier déjeuner sur la terrasse.

Chère Monique, C'est avec grande tristesse que j'ai appris le décès de Jean-Paul. Habitant en province, je vous voyais et connaissais peu, mais l'aura de ton cher époux était très rayonnante et Robert l'évoquais souvent. Je souhaite qu'il vogue en paix sur les beaux chemins de l'éternité.

Chris Stout

November 28, 2013

Thank you Monique, François and Yves for sharing Jean Paul with me. He spoke often of all of you and clearly loved his family. He was always in the service industry - with a frying pan or a Bourse or a donation. I will miss him deeply.

Paul Barraud, EHL

A Monique, Yves, François et sa famille.
Je n'oubliais jamais Jean-Paul. La fidélité de sa généreuse amitié, son humour, sa gentillesse envers chacun. J'étais très fier, à chaque étape de l'existence familiale, professionnelle et sociale de mon ancien élève. Mais tout cela grâce à vous, Monique, épouse bien aimée, mère attentionnée, collaboratrice avisée de Jean-Paul, cordon bleu signant avec lui un remarquable livre de cuisine, souriante, hospitalière, tant à New York, à Paris qu'à Long Island.
En attendant de vous dire de vive voix mes sentiments, j'adresse à toute la famille Picot, ma vive sympathie et ma grande amitié.

I was privileged to be invited to Jean Paul and Monique's home on two occasions, Sarah and Francois' joyous wedding and later a wonderful dinner on a beautiful summer
evening. I will always treasure those memories and the Picot's Joie de Vivre. They taught by living.
Condolences to Monique, Francois, Sarah, Yves, grandchildren and entire family.

Jean-Paul Picot was a great man, a giant of humanism and kindness for his family, his friends and the Human being he met in his beautiful life!

November 26, 2013

Mr. Jean-Paul seemed like a person who lived his life to the fullest. Now's he's asleep hoping to hear the words Lazarus heard when Jesus resurrected him saying "Lazarus come out" meaning from the grave. You have my condolences.

A wonderful man with a generous spirit who was France's unofficial Ambassador to NYC. A man who helped so many French citizens with a helping hand to establish careers in the food industry. A man who left his mark in a loving and positive way to those lucky enough to cross his path. Jean-Paul you will be missed but never forgotten.
