Marie-Victorine Manoa
Chef
She appropriates the cuisine of her childhood and forges her identity through a modern and thoughtful approach to traditional French cuisine. After being invited by Alain Ducasse to take over the restaurant's kitchen To the Lyonnais in Paris, she develops innovative cuisine, in line with the environmental challenges of the 21st century. Its cuisine is distinguished by a reinterpretation of French classics, in particular by reducing meat consumption and promoting herbs, vegetables and freshwater fish. She advocates conscious eating, where each culinary choice becomes a political act, a “vote” for a more environmentally friendly food system.
During her two years at the restaurant, she chose to only work with freshwater fish, a choice linked to her childhood and her roots in the Dombes region. This choice allows him to question the place of freshwater fish in French culture, faced with the massive importation of foreign fish. The chef is concerned about the disappearance of these traditional fish from French tables and is committed to giving them back their rightful place. She also reflects on the relationship between animal life and death, a subject that has long disturbed her, and which has focused her research on how to reconcile ethics and gastronomy.
Today, in Paris, she defines herself as a chef who brings tradition, but also change, by perpetuating French culinary know-how while leading a deep reflection on sustainability and food awareness. She draws her inspiration from times spent with family around fishing, where she learned patience and perseverance, values that she now integrates into her work and her commitment to cooking.

Louis-Paul Manoa
Fisherman
Since his childhood, he has had a passion for fishing and aquatic environments. His father passed on this love of fishing to him by taking him to the “Friends of Lapierre” pond in the Dombes, where he learned the basic skills, such as preparing the bait and installing the maggots. . This experience marked the beginning of an intense passion, particularly when he caught his first carp.
Later, it was his uncle André who taught him how to fish for pike, introducing him to different fishing techniques, from live fishing to lure fishing. Fishing quickly became a way of life for the author, accompanying him two to three times a week not only to catch fish, but also to observe and understand fragile aquatic ecosystems.
Driven by the desire to better understand this natural balance, he directed his studies towards the management of aquatic environments, first in France, then in Quebec, where he deepened his knowledge in hunting and fisheries management. Today, fishing remains a constant passion that he cultivates, alone or with friends, always looking for improvement.

The report by François-Régis Gaudry
A few weeks ago Marie-Victorine Manoa and François-Régis Gaudry were in Touraine Marie-Victorine and they embarked with Romain Gadet and young Marcellin, professional fishermen on the Loire, at the head of the Loire fisheries. Their boat is moored in Bréhémont, in Indre et Loire, on the banks of the Loire, 40 km downstream from Tours…
The Pêcheries Ligériens plate is located just opposite the Sailor's Huta restaurant where all of Romain Gadet's fishing is processed, cooked and served by Ambroise Voreux, a former Top Chef candidate.

Céline Maguet's chronicle
If there is one freshwater fish found throughout the European culinary repertoire, it is eel.
But there is something fishy under the rock. The European eel or “anguilla anguilla”, the only eel present on the European continent, is threatened with extinction…
In four decades, its population has fallen by almost 90%.
