Our history

Gastronomie France was created in October 2015 by a French entrepreneur who decided to settle in Colombia, and in his search for ventures that would allow him to maintain an approach with his native country and his country of heart, he decided to launch the internship and work program in France for students and graduates of gastronomy and hospitality, who wish to enrich their knowledge with the French gastronomic culture.

Gastronomie France has managed to position itself and is known for its various alliances, with different institutions of Gastronomy / Hospitality in Latin America and restaurants / hotels of greater prestige in France. Its main objective is to accompany French-speaking students and graduates throughout their stay in France so that they can achieve their goals: Learn another culture and strengthen their culinary knowledge.

In the course of this trajectory, in 2018 it managed to have a presence on the regional television channel Telemedellín and in this same year, on the occasion of the cocktail party of the French community of Medellín, organized by the French Chamber of Commerce in Colombia, Yoann NIVARD Founder of Gastronomie France presented its Franco-Latin Exchange program with Ambassador Gautier MIGNOT.
