Crockery, silverware, serving and kitchen dishes. This weekend, November 9 and 10, Lyon city hall will take on the appearance of a grand restaurant. Georges Blanc, Paul Bocuse, Éric Pras, Anne-Sophie Pic and even Jean Sulpice are in the spotlight. For his 15the edition, the “Vaisselle des Chefs” operation returns to Lyon to offer tableware and accessories from renowned chefs to promote the art of the French table.
A concept born between Rhône and Saône, open free to the public, to come and hunt for some exceptional pieces. ““Vaisselle de Chefs” was first born confidentially, then gained momentum after the 2017 edition at Halles Bocuse. The idea is to offer restaurants the opportunity to sell all their equipment that is sometimes stored or not used.entrusted to Figaro Florence Daveau, event manager.
More and more young people
This year, some exceptional pieces will be offered, such as these silver service bells by Georges Blanc. “Our idea has been, from the start, to give a second life to these objects. It is also, before the holidays, an opportunity to give a nice gift at an affordable price.continues Florence Daveau.
“Vaisselle des Chefs” attracts more and more young people, the plates being, for example, sold between five and ten euros each. “For the choice, it is better to come on Saturday. Some people queue up very early to be the first. On Sunday, if there is less choice, our policy is to offer low prices. So it’s interesting for everyone”concludes the organizer. Part of the income will be donated to the Rare Diseases foundation and the Saint-Roch habitat, which helps families in very poor housing.
Saturday November 9 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday November 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. FREE ENTRANCE.
