The Association

One dish, one tradition, clear rules

Bouillabaisse served at the table: the broth and the platter of fish

Born from the Challenge Bouillabaisse, led by Yvan Vahanian and La Calanque Bleue, the Association brings together chefs, restaurant owners and food lovers around one recipe and its rituals.

It runs the French Bouillabaisse Championship, supports the Challenge abroad, and is working to have bouillabaisse listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
