“I am thrilled to collaborate with Les Bateaux Belmond to curate a one-of-a-kind dining experience that weaves together the beauty of the French countryside with my own culinary philosophy,” said Crenn. “The menus I’ve designed celebrate the finest local ingredients and time-honored techniques to pay homage to the region’s rich heritage. Together with Belmond, I hope to create lasting memories through unforgettable cuisine.”

In the role of culinary creator, Crenn will develop two signature menus for the boats in the Burgundy, Champagne and South of France regions. Each will include a starter, main course and dessert.
