STANISLAS and his men were right about ALEXANDRE not evolving. But they thought he was was incapable of evolving and his recipes were dated, which wasn't true. ALEXANDRE realized that he wasn't evolving because he was at the top of his game. That plus the fact that his restaurant kept the 3 stars made him want to retire while still invictus.

He also realized that his lack of evolution was due to an absence of love in his life. Perhaps by moving to Nevers and pursuing a relationship with Carole, he could rekindle the passion that led to his culinary rise to stardom in the first place. Nevers would be a good change for him. It'd help him "get back to his roots" and rediscover the fundamentals of loving and living that is so much a part of great food!

Two reasons: (1) He found his replacement in Jacky and (2) He had found a romantic interest in Carole, who ran the restaurant in Nevers. Carole had told him that she would be needing a chef in a month, and Lagarde expressed interest in the job and in Carole. This happened when Lagarde drove Jacky out to Nevers to reconcile with his girlfriend, Beatrice.
