Exploring to Understand Better: The Entrepreneurial Journey
Oct 4, 2025 -
The entrepreneurial journey often begins with a precise assessment, allowing one to
confirm the course and identify the best paths to follow. For first-year Bachelor
students at Ferrières, this approach took shape through a cultural and gastronomic
exploration in the very heart of Paris.
An Immersion into Parisian Gastronomy
As part of the Introduction to Gastronomic Culture module, new students walked nine
kilometres across nine Parisian districts, discovering the origins and evolution of the
international gastronomic scene. This exploration allowed them to follow in the
footsteps of their illustrious predecessors and to soak up the atmosphere of the City of
Light—an eternal source of inspiration for modern metropolises that proudly claim its
title of “World Capital of Gastronomy.”
From Tradition to Innovation
From Lutetia and its wine port to contemporary fusion food, from the ancient tavern to
“fast-good” concepts, students explored the richness of tradition while observing the
hybridisation and innovation that shape the food of today and tomorrow. This field
experience enabled them to understand, firsthand, the cultural, economic,
technological and psychosociological factors influencing eating habits and dining
codes. These future professionals became aware of the challenges and opportunities
involved in creating dining concepts suited to modern expectations.
Culture and Gastronomy: An Inseparable Duo
The experience also invited reflection on the inseparable relationship between culture
and gastronomy. Echoing Brillat-Savarin’s famous words, “Animals feed, men eat, but
only men of intellect know how to eat,” the students gained a deeper appreciation of
gastronomy as both a social and cultural practice. The discovery of the “Gastronomic
Meal of the French”—listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity—
highlighted the diplomatic and identity dimensions of French gastronomy.
Learning to Adapt and Create
Guided by Jean-Luc Frusetta, these young talents were able to put complex concepts
into practice, learning how to adapt them to different professional contexts and
cultures. Enriched, enlightened, and inspired, they left with valuable tools to develop
their future projects and create a lasting impact in the gastronomic and entrepreneurial
world.
