A long collaboration
For years, Air France has offered its long haul customers gastronomy worthy of the greatest French restaurants, and had collaborated with Joël Robuchon for a decade.
The chef had long been the president of Culinary Studio Servair, "a real think tank gathering star chefs and experts to raise the quality standards of onboard catering and transpose the codes of haute cuisine to the meals of travelers from around the world", today chaired by Chef Guy Martin.
For the remainder of 2019, the passengers in first class will be able to try signature recipes from Régis Marcon (from July to September) and Emmanuel Renaut (from October to December).
