For the third year running, “Dîners du Chefs” is organized to benefit Restos du Cœur, the association established by Coluche, the late great actor, humanitarian and comedian, who, in 1985 was tragically killed in a motorbike accident in the south of France. This year’s event will take place on December 8th, 2016.
More than 100 Châteaux & Hôtels Collection chefs will create unique dinners, simultaneously, throughout France: Aix-en-Provence, Annecy, Beaune, Biarritz, Bordeaux, Condrieu, Laval, La Rochelle, Rouen, Opio, Paris, Pont-du-Gard and Toulon.
In Paris, participating chefs include Jean-Louis Nomicos (Les Tablettes), David Rathgeber (L’Assiette), François Gagnaire (Anicia), Fréderic Vardon (Le 39V), Alain Geeam (AG Les Halles), and Fanny Herpin (Allard).
These delicious dinners – comprising, say, amuse bouches; Themes around Eggs; Around Guinea Fowl; Saint-Jacques; Local cheeses; Chocolate and Desserts– will cost €100 per person, including drinks.
“Thanks to the generosity of the chefs and their teams as well as volunteers who sign up to work on these dinners – and partners such as Andros, Bragard, Brake, Borges, Convergence Achats, Davigel, Danone – Evian, Danone – Badoit, France Frais, iDTGV, Transgourmet, Lactalis, Maury Imprimeurs, Moët & Chandon, Nespresso, Pepsico, PLG, Valrhona all the proceeds will be paid directly to the association which, since 2014, has collected more than €175,000,” explains Alain Ducasse – President of Chateaux & Hotels Collection since 1999.
“This year’s edition aims to raise the bar to € 200,000 which will help fund 200,000 meals for the needy,” adds Monsieur Ducasse.
