Lunch meeting with a Tunisian personality

As the initiator of the “Arab spring”, Tunisia was the impetus for the revolutions in the region. The country has always differentiated itself through its openness and its aspiration for democracy. In this exceptional politico-historical context, we can organise for you a lunch or dinner with Tunisians who are at the heart of the current changes: artists, intellectuals, campaigners, business leaders or mere employees who also happen to be players in civil society. You will have an amazing opportunity to exchange views with them and gain a better understanding of the challenges facing Tunisian society, away from the clichés and closer to the facts. This meeting will also allow you to find out more about the traditions, the cuisine and the local culture.

Gastronomic romantic dinner with a view of the Mediterranean horizon

Dinner with a view of the Mediterranean horizon in the gastronomic restaurant (2 Michelin stars) at “La Villa Bleue”, whose menu draws its inspiration from the cuisine of French chef Jean-François Issautier.
