THE MEDITERRANEAN 2 - MEETINGS OF TASTE & KNOWLEDGE

Authentic meetings of enthusiasts living in the area. Knowledge, sharing, and conviviality around tastings and activities. And special guest appearances!

Entry to the meetings is free, subject to availability, with a voluntary financial contribution.

A FESTIVAL OPEN TO ALL
The Mediterranean has been conceived as an event that is cultural, gastronomic, popular, and accessible.
Gastronomy professionals, cooking enthusiasts, families, students, the curious, and the passionate can gather around a program that gives equal space to top chefs as well as local producers and artisans.
This desire for openness is reflected in free access to the meetings, within the limits of available seating.
Some specific offerings, particularly culinary workshops and meals, will have separate pricing.
The Mediterranean aims to remind us that gastronomy is not just about restaurants and chefs: it belongs to all those who cultivate, produce, cook, transmit, and share.
Three days to discover, learn, taste, and celebrate together what the Mediterranean has to offer: its products, its knowledge, its cultures, and its encounters.

• Thematic round tables,

• "What is the Mediterranean?" featuring star chefs.

• The arts of the table,

• Round table on olives,

• Round table on rice,

• And more... such as tastings in the hall.

Recipes and paintings by Roger Cosme Estève

Roger Cosme Estève is not only the painter we know, but also a gourmet... and in his own way, an excellent cook. "I cook as I paint," he asserts with delight.
