The Fair wakes up every morning, around 7 a.m.
Joël and José, from the Fair’s technical team, get busy from 7:30 a.m. among the hundreds of stands, to prepare to welcome the public at 10 a.m. Tables, chairs, trolleys and other electric cables twirl very early in the bays of the Palace. Jean-Robert, representative of the local union of artisans-bakers, prepares breads and pastries for exhibitors with his team, from 4am. Finally, Daniel, President of the Amicale des chefs de Côte d’Or, is setting up his large stand at the entrance to the Fair to welcome the chefs, all of whom are invited to present their cuisine and their original dishes.
