“As Paris and France prepare to welcome visitors from around the world for major international events, we made the daring choice to put together a transversal team and place our bets on the exceptional alliance of two chefs who embody the French gastronomy of our time, and offer a more inclusive, open, modern and democratic approach to French cuisine.”

In addition, the company has hired architects such as Aline Asmar d’Ammanto renovate the Jules Verne, and Nicola Delon and Ramy Fischler to redesign the other spaces.

Sodexo will also work with French start-up Ubudu to optimise visitor traffic for the restaurants.

Furthermore, the company plans to launch social and environmental commitments to promote French artisanship and local, waste-free catering.

A network of catering artisans will form a guild to invite visitors to discover and taste pastries, drinks, breads, and cold-cuts from Paris-based artisans under the ‘Made in Paris’ label.
