Le Voyage des Mangeurs: an itinerant culinary adventure in Auvergne
Jean Covillaut and Pierre Reure, both of whom made their name on Top Chef, will be presenting their traveling restaurant in Auvergne in April. Beware, there won't be room for everyone!
From April 12 to 20, 2025, the Auvergne region of France is gearing up for an unprecedented gastronomic experience. Jean Covillault and Pierre Reure, two passionate chefs revealed on Top Chef, are teaming up for an extraordinary culinary journey. Le Voyage des Mangeurs, their itinerant restaurant, will criss-cross the region on board a food truck, offering convivial, festive cuisine.
A project driven by passion and attachment to the land
Jean Covillault, a nomadic chef always on the lookout for new experiences, and Pierre Reure, a fervent advocate of rustic, inventive cuisine, came up with this project to showcase their native region. Their ambition? To offer simple, accessible, wood-fired cuisine in a warm, authentic setting. Each evening, between 150 and 200 guests are expected to share a meal at a large table, featuring a unique starter-main course-dessert menu, priced at 25 euros per person.
Five gourmet and festive stops
The Voyage des Mangeurs itinerary will pass through five emblematic Auvergne towns, each chosen for its charm and history. The journey begins in Saint-Alban, near Roanne, on April 12, with a convivial evening in the village park. On April 14, the food truck will stop off in Thiers, famous for its knives, in a spectacular natural setting.
On April 16, it's off to Saint-Nectaire, where guests will enjoy their meal next to the majestic Romanesque church. Two days later, on April 18, the food truck will stop in Volvic, well known for its pure spring water. Finally, the adventure comes to a close on April 20 in Dompierre-sur-Besbre, Jean's native village, where the atmosphere promises to be more festive than ever.
More than a meal, an experience
Beyond the gastronomy, Le Voyage des Mangeurs will offer a truly festive immersion. Each evening, a musical line-up will accompany the meal, reinforcing the atmosphere of sharing and conviviality so dear to the two chefs.
With Le Voyage des Mangeurs, Jean Covillault and Pierre Reure invite gourmets and the curious to a unique experience: sincere and generous cuisine, shared under the stars, to the rhythm of local encounters and flavors.
