Fez – Morocco’s rich culinary heritage was highly featured at the 7th edition of the Village International de la Gastronomie, held September 11–14 at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, captivating visitors with its flavors, artistry, and cultural warmth.
The Moroccan pavilion stood out with its vibrant display of hospitality. Draped in national colors and adorned with traditional motifs, carpets, lanterns, zellige tiles, pottery, and pastries, the space transported attendees into the heart of Morocco’s traditions. Visitors enjoyed an atmosphere that combined conviviality with authenticity, offering a glimpse into Morocco’s art of living.
The initiative was led by Hassan Ichouan, a young enthusiast of Moroccan cuisine and pastry.
He explained that presenting Moroccan dishes alongside those of more than 60 countries in such a setting was both an honor and a responsibility.
Anne-Laure Descombin, founder of the festival, echoed this sentiment, noting that the Village is more than just a culinary fair.
Over four days, the Paris International Gastronomy Village brought together chefs, artisans, and food lovers from around the globe. Beyond tastings, the event featured concerts, performances, exhibitions, and artisan workshops, making it a celebration of cultural exchange as much as gastronomy.
For Morocco, the festival offered yet another opportunity to elevate the country’s standing as a culinary powerhouse, where flavors are deeply tied to history, culture, and hospitality.
