Alain Ducasse recipe with Paris Tout Chocolat

The remarkable famous chef Alain Ducasse has done it again, this time with sophisticated lunch and dinner cruises aboard his custom vessel, Ducasse sur Seine.

Alain Ducasse and Paris

Pick a Paris landmark, and you can be sure there’s a memorable dining experience nearby (External link) – behind the Louvre (External link) , nestled beside the Sacre Coeur (External link) , facing the Eiffel Tower (External link) . Now there’s the new Seine cruise experience Ducasse sur Seine, giving an elegant lift to the cruising restaurant genre itself.

The seasonal menu interprets favourite classics, such as the recent Lyonnaise warm guinea fowl stuffed with foie gras pate, or vegetarian cocotte (cookpot) of spelt and violet artichokes.

Continuing the eco-friendly theme, little is wasted in the kitchen. Chefs roast seeds from squash to add flavour to the amuse bouche, or incorporate artichoke leaves and other vegetable trimmings to enhance the flavours.

In case you wouldn’t be able to this remarkable venue anytime soon, you could still try to imitate his unequalled technique with this exclusive Alain Ducasse Chocolate recipe:
