Since its inception in 2006, Les Étoiles de Mougins has established itself as one of the most prestigious gastronomic festivals in France. Created in honor of the famous chef Roger Vergé, the event brings together the most renowned chefs from around the world every two years in the charming village of Mougins, located on the French Riviera.

A Gathering Place for Gastronomy Enthusiasts
With each edition, the picturesque streets of Mougins are transformed into a vast culinary theater, hosting over 120 chefs eager to share their passion. The audience, comprised of more than 20,000 visitors per edition, can enjoy live cooking demonstrations, participate in practical workshops, and taste exceptional dishes. Among the festival’s highlights are prestigious competitions such as the Roger Vergé Young Chef Contest and the Young Pastry Chef Contest.

Famous chefs such as Thierry Marx, Anne-Sophie Pic, and Guillaume Gomez have left their mark on the festival, offering demonstrations and advice to both amateurs and professionals. It is not only a place for demonstrations but also a space for exchange, where visitors can interact directly with the chefs.

A Unique Experience: “Dinner in the Sky”
In recent years, the festival has introduced innovative experiences such as the famous Dinner in the Sky®, where diners can enjoy a meal prepared by renowned chefs while suspended 50 meters above the village. This unique experience has added a spectacular and avant-garde dimension to the festival.
