The Promocash store in La Farlède, managed by Muriel and Christophe Gruel, is organizing its traditional "Journée Entre Pros" on Thursday, June 18. Starting at 6:30 a.m., the brand will welcome its 500 clients for a special edition setting course for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Marine nationale. The event is strictly reserved for a professional clientele.

"Please note that this day is strictly reserved for the brand's professional customers and is not open to the general public," warns Christophe Gruel.

A LABELED AND HISTORIC EVENT To mark this celebration, the initiative has obtained the official label "400 ans de la Marine," anchoring this day in a strong historical dimension. A choice that the establishment's manager puts into context. "This Open House day is dedicated to seafood products in connection with the history of the Marine which experienced a decisive turning point in the 17th century since it was in October 1626, under the reign of Louis XIII, that Cardinal de Richelieu laid the foundations of a structured state Marine," explains Christophe Gruel.

MORE THAN 30 SUPPLIERS AND TASTINGS IN THE SPOTLIGHT This day will be an opportunity for catering professionals to meet more than 30 partner suppliers and benefit from special offers. Seafood products will be particularly highlighted, with the presence of recognized players such as Alliance O, based in Nice and specializing in Mediterranean seafood products, Groupe Barba Marée from Villeneuve-lès-Béziers, or Vanelli, a specialist in anchovy fillets. Other terroirs will be represented, with strawberry and mushroom producers from La Serre du Plan in La Garde, creations from L'Odyssée des Glaces in Fréjus, or fish soups from the Breton Beaumoulin.

A supplier from Valence, in Espagne, will also introduce guests to fidéùa, the seafood paella.

FESTIVE ATMOSPHERE AND CULINARY DEMONSTRATIONS Entertainment will be at the heart of the event. Several music groups will take turns throughout the day to guarantee a friendly atmosphere. On the gastronomy side, the brothers Didier and Fabrice Marin, from Marin Frères Traiteur, will host culinary demonstrations.

These will highlight the products of the suppliers present, offering participants ideas and techniques to enhance their own menus.

The invitation is extended by the entire team of the brand for a moment of exchanges, discoveries, and conviviality. "The entire Promocash team will be delighted to welcome clients to share this privileged moment with you, and we hope to see many of them on board," concludes Christophe Gruel.
