Raymond Blanc will join a Scenic gastronomic river cruise to share his love of French cuisine.

The chef, author and presenter will join the voyage at Cadillac for two-days and take part in a talk and Q&A about his life and career.

Guests will discover Blanc’s culinary secrets and tips during a cooking demonstration with his sous-chef and the chance to sample his cuisine. There will also be an informal drinks reception and gala dinner, prepared by the ship’s head chef, in his honour.
