Restaurateur
A restaurateur is a person who opens and runs restaurants professionally. Although over time the term has come to describe any person who owns a restaurant, traditionally it refers to a highly skilled professional who is proficient in all aspects of the restaurant business. Etymology The French word comes from the Late Latin term ("restorer") and from the Latin term ''restaurare''. The word ''restaurateur'' is simply French for a person who owns or runs a restaurant. The feminine form of the French noun is ''restauratrice''. A less common variant spelling ''restauranteur'' is formed from the "more familiar" term ''restaurant'' with the French suffix ''-eur'' borrowed from ''restaurateur''. It is considered a misspelling by some. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' gives examples of this variant (described as "originally American") going back to 1837. H. L. Mencken said that in using this form he was using an American, not a French, word. See also * Culinary arts * Foodservice ...

Sud Radio
Sud Radio is a French privately owned radio station, founded in 1958. Until 2017, it was headquartered in Labège, Haute-Garonne near Toulouse, before it moved to Courbevoie, Hauts-de-Seine. This relocation to the Parisian region allows for the radio to host more politicians and other personalities for studio interviews. History On 29 October 1951, ANDORRADIO S.A was constituted with an ownership of 51% by Sofirad, with the aim to create a new radio station in Andorra; the station eventually started broadcasting on 18 September 1958 and was named ''Andorradio''. On 29 March 1961 an agreement was signed allowing two stations to transmit from Andorra. The French radio, previously called ''Radio des Vallées d'Andorre'' ("Radio of the Valleys of Andorra") became ''Sud Radio'' ("Radio South") in 1966. In March 1986, Sud Radio received permission to transmit on the French FM band. The following year, the group Laboratoires Pierre Fabre took control of Sud Radio along regional investo ...
