"Saveurs et Savoirs": the gastronomic festival returns to Uzès

François-Régis Gaudry is in the news! It's not a radio or TV show, nor a book, but the "Saveurs et Savoirs" festival in Uzès, which he will be presenting again this year. It's an opportunity for the culinary journalist - used to the exercise - to mix gastronomy and culture. He will be joined by such top chefs as Glenn VIel (L'Oustau de Baumanière) and Michel Bras (Suquet à Laguioles).

A promising program

This second edition promises to be gourmet and copious! The program includes demonstrations, including "Cooking in stainless steel", which is sure to appeal to many a cooking enthusiast, meetings, book signings, a gastronomic dictation packed with words from the world of gastronomy, a public dumpling competition, winegustations and, of course, a market on the Place aux Herbes where you can find sweet and savoury delicacies, as well as discover barrel-making with Tonnellerie Billon and fresh pasta with Les pâtes gourmandes. Alongside the many film screenings, festival-goers will even have the chance to discover La Buvette Pollen, located in the Le Capitole cinema.

In addition to Glenn Viel and Michel Bras, a number of top chefs will be on hand. Matthias Marc, 3 toques at Substance in Paris, Georgiana Viou, 3 toques at Rouge in Nîmes, Stéphanie Le Quellec, 4 toques at La Scène in Paris, Florent Pietravalle, 4 toques at La Mirande in Avignon, Mathieu Vianney, 3 toques at La Mère Brazier in Lyon, and Christophe Michalak and Juan Arbelaez will be taking part in this epicurean feast.
