In high spirits, a successful getaway centered around gastronomy
What better entry into autumn than a "Gourmet Getaway"?

On September 27, 28, and 29, this now-essential event, centered around gastronomy in high spirits and the joy of living, was offered by the Ville. In partnership with the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France association, the atmosphere was particularly cheerful thanks to the participation of great chefs and around fifty exhibitors (including PROMOCASH and the Domaine de Favanquet) and quality producers.

Their presence consolidated the success of this 6th edition. MASTERS OF GASTRONOMY Between cooking competitions, a charity meal for "les rêves de Lana", conferences, musical aperitifs, and a café waiters' race, it was three days of festive and gustatory madness, under the patronage of Christian Têtedoie, Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF), trained under Paul Bocuse and Georges Blanc. Alongside him, 8 renowned chefs: Francis Robin, starred chef who worked for "Le Mas du soleil", Yorann Vandriessche, starred chef and Maître Cuisinier de France of "L'Arbre du soleil" in Le Lavandou, Gilles Brunner, former chef of the Monaco princely palace and president of the Grand Cordon d'Or of French cuisine, Philippe Parc, (MOF and world champion of dessert trades), Julien Le Gof (Le Saint-Estève, a starred restaurant in Aix en Provence), Bernard Leclerc, starred chef at La Poêle d'Or, and working at the restaurant "Bleu Lavande" in Mouans-Sartoux, Gilles Carmignani (La Table de l'Olivier) in Marseille and Julien Allègre from the restaurant "Les santons" in Grimaud.
At the time of the inauguration, in the presence of many personalities, elected officials of the Département, and of the municipalities of Bormes-les-Mimosas and Le Lavandou, the mayor, François Arizzi, thanked the participants and executors, the Ville services including Asso-Even, for their participation in the realization of this event. Without forgetting the one who, in his time, had suggested the idea, namely the Borméen Guy Gedda, cantor of Provençal cuisine.
