He then worked at several Michelin star establishments in France and Switzerland, mentored by famous chefs such as André Guillot and Jean Delaveyene. At the age of 23, he was appointed Sous Chef Kitchen of Château de La Jonchère, Bougival, France. The 2-star Michelin establishment was set in a historic castle that attracted the attention of France's political elite, including the former French President.

By the age of 21, he had traveled to Cairo, Egypt to open the Cairo Concorde Hotel as Chef de Partie, Kitchen. But it was not until the age of 26 that his career took a global flavor with the Le Meridien group. He was the youngest to be appointed Executive Chef by the Le Meridien Group. From Congo to Baghdad, Thailand, Indonesia to Bahrain, Chef Audran took the Executive Chef helm by the horns and navigated international cultural waters. In the major cities Bangkok, Manama and Jakarta, he catered to rulers, presidents, kings and other royalties.

Chef Antoine Audran is now the Executive Chef and proprietor of Java Bleu - a place that stands for gastronomic French Cuisine in Jakarta.
