Charles Masson Sr. (May 1914 Belfort - February 4, 1975 Manhattan) was the founder, in 1962,[1] and owner of Le Grenouille. Lawrence Van Gelder wrote in the New York Times that Masson "belonged to that aristocracy of New York restaurateurs who trace their professional lineage to the arrival here in 1939 of Henri Soulé".[2]
