In detail

Step into the Sustainable Gastronomy Village and discover, with family or friends, a different way of looking at food: more local, more responsible, and always delicious.

Throughout the day, the village will come alive with a variety of activities: cooking classes, tastings, hands-on workshops, demonstrations, and interactive games, as well as a space for discussion and debate where we can reflect together on the future of food, from farm to table.

Young and old alike will be able to discover new practices, gain a better understanding of the issues surrounding our food, and leave with tips they can apply in their daily lives.

The village will bring together 18 local organizations working on a wide range of topics: seasonal fruits and vegetables, legumes, organic farming, the fight against food waste, carbon footprint, Nutri-Score, locally sourced food, food justice, and the connection between sports and nutrition.

La Salle Agricultural High School in Thillois will also introduce you to the various agricultural programs.

While you’re here, take the opportunity to learn about the Triangle Marnais Local Food Project, led by the City of Reims, Greater Reims, and the Montagne de Reims Regional Nature Park, and check out the brand-new guide to local producers.

Villa Douce

Built between 1929 and 1934 for notary André Douce by architects Pol Gosset and Jacques Debat-Ponsan, Villa Douce is a remarkable example of Reims Art Deco architecture.

Its brick façade and its interior, inspired by the ocean liner style, reflect the elegance of the 1930s.

Listed for its music salon, it now houses the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne and opens its doors as part of the Relais du Goût event.
