The municipality of La Jarrie partnered for the fourth consecutive year with its supplier API for this national event. The initiative, held on October 8th, allowed students using the school's catering service to take part in an annual gathering focused on conviviality and culinary discovery.
The concept of "Le grand repas" is for all collective catering actors to come together on the same day and offer a unique menu, crafted from local, seasonal products. This year, the patron for Charente-Maritime was Damien CHOMONT, head chef at the restaurant l'Astrolabe in La Rochelle.
The main objective of this day is to emphasize the values of sharing, togetherness, taste, and curiosity. It also aims to raise participants' awareness of the essential issues of short supply chains and food waste reduction.
