The G7 Selects Emmanuel Renaut

At major international summits, gastronomy is much more than just a meal. It becomes a diplomatic tool in its own right. On the occasion of the G7 summit held in Évian, the Office of the President of the Republic—or the President of the Republic—entrusted Emmanuel Renaut with the task of preparing the working dinner for the heads of state and government. This choice honors one of the greatest ambassadors of French cuisine. From the heights of Megève to the G7 table, Emmanuel Renaut has continued his impressive rise. All the while remaining true to what makes him great: a cuisine deeply rooted in the mountains, driven by hard work, humility, and remarkable consistency. This recognition is a fitting tribute to a career built with patience and conviction. The three-Michelin-starred chef of Flocons de Sel has created a menu inspired by his region, showcasing products from the French Alps. It’s a way of reminding us that major international events are also an opportunity to highlight a region, its producers, and a wealth of culinary expertise.
