SLOW FOOD HAUTS-DE FRANCE COMMUNITY
AN INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT
Slow Food is the international movement for good, clean and fair food.
Papillon Gourmet is proud to be part of the international Slow Food movement, founded in Italy in 1986 and now present in over 160 countries.
A movement that defends food biodiversity, protects artisan producers and promotes a more conscious and responsible relationship with food. In 2025, we founded the Slow Food Hauts-de-France Community, with the aim of building a bridge between producers, chefs, merchants and citizens who share the same vision: a sustainable gastronomic future, rooted in local areas and respectful of the Earth.
Our values
Biodiversity.
Each product, each terroir, and each farming method tells a story that deserves to be preserved. We support producers who work with respect for nature and local traditions.
Education.
We believe in taste education and food culture: learning to know what we eat means recognizing the value of food and those who produce it.
Justice and transparency.
We support a food system that fairly compensates producers and offers everyone conscious and sustainable access to quality products.
Our Actions
The Slow Food Hauts-de-France community implements and supports concrete projects to promote local producers and foster dialogue between those who cultivate, transform, and taste.
Earth Markets: farmers' markets with tastings and educational activities.
Terra Madre France: a large international gathering dedicated to producers, communities, and biodiversity.
Slow Wine, Slow Bread, Slow Cheese: we participate in Slow Food's European thematic networks.
Visits and tastings at producers' premises, school events, and meetings with chefs from the Slow Food Alliance.
Why Join
Joining Slow Food means participating in change: building together a more equitable, humane, and just food model.
Every member receives a Slow Food card, access to exclusive meetings and tastings, educational materials, and shared projects throughout Europe.
Together we can learn, share, and transform our eating habits, for a present that is more respectful of the Earth and a healthier, tastier future for all.
