Located very close to the airport on the outskirts of Paris, the Rungis market is the largest of its type on the entire globe. More interestingly, the best meals of Paris begin here. For most critics, the outline difference between an extraordinary meal and a mediocre meal starts with Rungis more so with the extraordinary ability of the chef to procure the finest ingredients. 

Context Paris docent Louisa Chu is to escort a group to Rungis on 26th December to tour around the market. With a remarkable experience at the Cordon-bleu under a reputed former chef of Alain Ducasse's Plaza Athenes, Chu has the credit of a wide experience in navigating across the miles of fish stalls and meat lockers in addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables that arrive in Rungis on a daily basis.

Paul Bennett, Context founder remarks, "Rungis is mecca for anyone serious about food. It's much more than just a market. It's the center of the gastronomic world in Paris. And Louisa, with her hands-on experience in some of the finest restaurants in town, is just the person to take us there."

Besides providing a history of the market to the visitors, Chu will conduct a narrative walk at Rungis explaining how the chefs procure the best ingredients, the global popularity of the wares and the vendors and the influence of the market on the French cuisine.
