Highlight – Gala Dinner on 20 May

Welcome to Abbaye de Collonges – Paul Bocuse

Abbaye de Collonges is a historic venue, deeply connected to the legacy of Paul Bocuse.
You will have the opportunity to dine in the house of his grandparents, Joseph and Marie Bocuse.

This unique location, close to the countryside and the banks of the Saône River,
offers a festive and convivial atmosphere. The guinguette spirit prevails,
enhanced by traditional organs, fairground rides and festive melodies.
