Village International de la Gastronomie celebrates its 10th anniversary at Place de la Concorde, 10-13 September

From 10 to 13 September 2026, Paris's Place de la Concorde hosts the 10th anniversary of the Village International de la Gastronomie, the world's largest gathering of culinary heritage.

More than 73 countries, chefs from five continents, embassies, authors, producers and artisans come together to celebrate gastronomy as a tool of diplomacy, cross-cultural dialogue and friendship between peoples.

This exceptional edition is fronted by an exceptional patron: Chef Alain Ducasse.

On its tenth anniversary, the Village reaffirms its mission more than ever: to introduce the world through its cuisines.

Every culinary tradition carries a heritage passed down through generations — a living legacy essential to knowing and understanding one another better.

At a time when cultural exchange is a key lever for mutual understanding, the Village reminds us that gastronomy can also be a powerful tool for peace, dialogue and international cooperation.

Firmly rooted in the Parisian calendar, the Village has become an international stage where heritage and know-how meet around one table. Each pavilion tells a story, a culture and a way of sharing.

To celebrate the inscription of Italian cuisine (Cucina Italiana) on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list, this year's Village puts Italy in the spotlight, honouring the excellence of its culinary traditions and Franco-Italian friendship.
