Event in Chartres! On Sunday, March 24, 2024, the city will celebrate the 40ᵉ edition of La Paulée des Vins de Loire. Winegrowers' market, dinner with a renowned chef... Discover the day's mouth-watering program.

Emmanuel Renaut as guest of honor

La Paulée is first and foremost a traditional winegrowers' market, to be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., under the Halles de Chartres on Place Billard. It will be an opportunity to meet winegrowers from the Loire appellations, selected by organizer Bertrand Jallerat, Olivier Poussier (World's Best Sommelier in 2000), Nicolas Duclos (sommelier at the Grand Monarque) and the La Paulée des Vins de Loire association. This event will be the perfect opportunity to acquire bottles that are sometimes hard to find.

But that's not all! For its 40ᵉ edition, La Paulée will be the setting for an emblematic dinner produced by Emmanuel Renaut, chef of the Flocons de Sel restaurant in Megève and Gault&Millau d'Or 2019 for the Auvergne-Rhône Alpes region, accompanied by Thomas Parnaud, resident chef at Le Georges restaurant (3 toques), within the Hôtel Le Grand Monarque, in Chartres. Together, they will propose a menu based on game, hunting and nature. "I quickly realized that nature was not only a source of inspiration, but also a source of concern. To preserve it, you first have to appreciate it. Through my cooking, I try to convey a message that goes beyond emotions", says Emmanuel Renaut. These exceptional dishes will of course be paired with the great Loire wines presented throughout the day.

Michel Sarran signs the menu for a new immersive restaurant in La Grande Motte

"The table where it all happens". This is the slogan of Groupe Partouche's new immersive restaurant, I-Motion, which Michel Sarran will take the helm of in a few days' time. Conceived as a culinary spectacle, the venue promises an experience where gastronomy meets emotion. The Pasino La Grande Motte inaugurates its new restaurant, inspired by the world of gaming, which will open its doors on January 21, 2026. A proposal that aims to push back the boundaries of traditional dining to offer a moment out of time. A moment of sight, sound and taste I-Motion brings the experience to the table. In an intimate setting, around a table seating just 14 guests, guests experience almost two hours of immersion, at the heart of the Pasino Partouche in La Grande-Motte. Sounds, images and flavors combine to appeal to all the senses. "Each tableau is conceived as a stage where subtle effects combine to surprise and amaze," declares Groupe Partouche. Each guest takes part in this living spectacle, where the scenography sublimates taste and awakens emotion. A menu imagined by Michel Sarran Michel Sarran explores a new facet of his "emotional cuisine", in a menu conceived as a sensory narrative. "Each dish corresponds to a different mood, passing in turn through hushed, mysterious, aquatic or sparkling atmospheres", explains the group. The menu reveals itself progressively, service after service, through evocative titles such as the aperitif "Casino Lounge", the main course "Casino Sous l'Eau" or the dessert "Grande Roulette". The walls and the table itself reveal a staging designed to accompany each stage of this unique six-course menu. Light projections and sound effects punctuate the tasting experience. "This project was born of a shared desire to offer a total experience, where gastronomy is experienced as much as it is tasted. Each sequence has been designed to surprise, move and leave a lasting impression", says the chef. Single menu, €175 per person (vegetarian menu available). Food and beverage pairings extra. Reservations now open on theI-Motion website
