THE BOCUSE D’OR EUROPE IN MARSEILLE
It is with deep emotion and great pride that I accepted the honor of being the Honorary President of the Bocuse d’Or Europe 2026, here in Marseille.
The Bocuse d’Or is not a competition like any other. It embodies creativity, professionalism, and above all, team spirit. Since its creation, it has revealed exceptional talents, inspired new vocations, and spread the art of cuisine across all continents.
I am also delighted that the first edition of Sirha Méditerranée will take place in Marseille. It is a great source of pride for this city that I hold so dear. I have always believed that the Phocean city would become a major gastronomic destination. And today it is thanks to the passion and talent of our chefs, our producers, and our artisans of flavor, who bring to life every day the richness and diversity of our terroir.
These two events will give our city exceptional visibility and will highlight everything Marseille has to offer: its creativity, its energy, and its openness to the world.
