A French dinner for the Queen - in the kitchens of the Elysee Palace

On the occasion of D-Day commemoration ceremonies, the Queen of England is paying an official state visit in France and will be attending a banquet as the guest of honor at the official residence of the President of the Republic of France, the Elysée Palace. This documentary film will describe the event from the kitchens of power, the true vitrine of French gastronomy which has been on Unesco's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2010. We will follow the work of the teams of the famous chef Guillaume Gomez, from the conception of the menus to the selection of products with the best French producers as well as the installation of the reception hall. A true challenge for a prestigious guest.

[@Familylawgroup]

When we compare this video to Secrets of the British Royal Kitchen, there are striking differences. The Elysee chef has control over the menu and makes his side dish decisions at the last minute, based on produce available. In England, however, the Queen personally approves all menus and preparations are rehearsed so that each event works like a master production. None is focused on planning and the other on inspiration. Fascinating.

[@thomasdacunha1125]

Not accurate, the French President is calling the shots and has the final decision on what's served.

[@danielmathai4780]

In England the Chef presents multiple proposed menus to the King/Queen Consort, based on the products available ..the monarch decides amongst the multiple menus presented to her, taking into consideration the visiting dignitaries diet preferences, especially if it's religious dignitary...For Hindus, the monarch might chose a vegetarian dinner, For Muslims, the palace will serve only halal meat...also the monarch will take into consideration, the personal preferences of the visiting dignitary as well

Hope the Queen loved all that heart went into the dinner.

La vendeuse du fromage est merveilleuse! J‘aime beaucoup cette qualité d‘humeur et leur compétence. C’est magnifiqie de voir les meilleurs produits alimentaire de France, qui m‘inspire toujours. Je peux pas manger autant du fromge, qu‘un président français, mais chaque jour, je m‘approche davantage de mon but. Heureusement, il y a nombreux magasins, où en peut vendre les délices extraordinaires du voisins français, ici en Hambourg. C’est une difference entre manger et goûter. Et quand il n‘est pas possible de voyager en France actuellement, en cuisine un repas français, et voilà, en est en vacances. ☺️

Et "ils ne devraient pas avoir besoin de sécurité". Ce sont les gens les plus élitistes au monde et les plus célèbres. Bien sûr, ils ont besoin de sécurité!

The French Baguettes is my favorite bread and only available in France.Imitations in other countries don't even come close to the original and best.

[@francinesicard464]

Fully agree! I have lived my whole life outside France and when I come back home I realise how much I have missed it. I came to appreciate other kinds of bread but nothing like a fresh crispy baguette with saucisson d'Auvergne or cheese ... yummy!

That 70 Euro per person meal would probably cost 250 Euros at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. The wine selection was impressive. Chateau D'yquem ! Yum.

[@h4rdi7g3]

That's probably because you're paying for the Gordon Ramsay name as well as the food. All name brands are overpriced. Plus Ramsay is one of if not the most famous chef in the world.
