Le Festin is a Bordeaux publishing house, and if you are one of those who love the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, you are a fan of this magazine. As the pages go by, local know-how takes its place. Le Festin deals with regional and heritage assets. Its founder and director is called Xavier Rozan. For the number: At the South-West table. It was released in 2021, a gastronomy special which is a collector’s issue, due to its original approach to cooking, and the quality of its signatures, two constants for the Festin.

In this issue dedicated to gastronomy, Philippe Meyzie and Corinne Marache, professors at the University of Bordeaux Montaigne, intervene in particular: a time travel to discover the products and culinary know-how of Aquitaine.
