It carries neither poetic titles nor technical descriptions: each dish takes the name of a commune in \u00cele-de-France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Map of Geography More Than a Menu of Dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Versailles, Montmorency, Sa\u00e2cy-sur-Marne, Thoiry, S\u00e8vres: the names that make up R\u00e9mi Chambard&#8217;s menu trace less a menu than a territory. Each commune invoked points to a specific producer, an encounter, a season, or a landscape that nourished the dish bearing its name. The chef thus builds what he presents as a gastronomic stroll at the heart of a \u2018countryside Paris\u2019 \u2014 a way of recalling that the Paris region, beyond the ring road, remains a fully-fledged agricultural territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This choice of geographic rather than descriptive titles shifts the diner&#8217;s gaze: instead of wondering what a dish contains, one is invited to wonder where it comes from. The menu functions as a signature of provenance, dish after dish, rather than as a simple list of compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starred Gastronomy as a Relay for Local Proximity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this menu, R\u00e9mi Chambard asserts a conviction that runs against a stubborn received idea: the one holding that great cuisine must necessarily feed on products from far away, rare because distant. The chef chooses the opposite, highlighting the market gardeners, foragers, fishermen, and artisans of the \u00cele-de-France region who feed his work every day. His second Michelin star, earned a few months earlier, has therefore not distanced him from his local roots; it seems, on the contrary, to have confirmed him in this choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-1024x481.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2075575\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-1024x481.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-766x360.png 766w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-1536x722.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-585x275.png 585w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001-1170x550.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image001.png 1592w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les \u00c9tangs de Corot, a Setting That Bears His Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Corot restaurant occupies a setting that is far from incidental to this approach: the \u00c9tangs de Corot, in Ville-d&#8217;Avray, that landscape of water and light which inspired painter Camille Corot to create some of his best-known canvases. The place has long maintained a bond between landscape heritage and gastronomy, and the chef&#8217;s new menu extends this continuity \u2014 that of a cuisine which looks out the window before looking into recipe books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By linking each plate to an identifiable place in the region, R\u00e9mi Chambard implicitly invites his guests to an exercise in gourmet geography: to recognize, in the name of a dish, that of a village they may have already passed through without knowing that it fed, somewhere, one of \u00cele-de-France&#8217;s most demanding tables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months after earning his second Michelin star, R\u00e9mi Chambard unveils the first menu of this new chapter at Le Corot restaurant, at the \u00c9tangs de Corot, in Ville-d&#8217;Avray.
