69 years ago, on April 21, 1954, the Disciples Escoffier International association was born.

Under the impetus of Jean Ducroux, President of the Fraternelle des Cuisiniers, Pierre Sauvan, chef, formalized the creation of our association in the prefecture of Nice.

In 1 year, to the day, the festivities to celebrate 70 years of promoting gastronomy and the work of Master Auguste Escoffier will be in full swing!

Such a beautiful age must of course be celebrated as it should be!

I hope that all the delegations will be united to celebrate OUR anniversary together, and to demonstrate what we represent 70 years later and that we will still be there in the next 70 years.

I suggest you to organize our anniversary around 5 highlights:

 Set up by Paris more than a decade ago, the concept is gaining momentum year after year in France, in overseas territories and even in Asia.

This typically French celebration must continue to spread beyond our borders.

We will have to organize in January the sale of galettes des rois to the general public, with a charitable objective (the profits must be donated to an association close to your delegation).

The international association is working with the Zone France on a collector "Escoffier" lucky charm which will be the same for all delegations.

A festive party, all white dressed, where music, friendship and sharing will be the key words.

This evening is intended to be a moment of relaxation and a meeting point, without the usual protocol of gala dinners or induction chapters.

You will all know how to gather your disciples around a picnic, buffet, atmospheres or exceptional places.

To celebrate the anniversary of the master and that of the association which has paid tribute to him for 70 years!

A historical menu will be offered to you soon to inspire you.

We will organize the international meetings in Paris and we will be able to celebrate our anniversary together on October 28 in a prestigious site.
