L'Éveil des Papilles,
Serving you since 2008
Our nomadic team loves taking on new challenges to write a new page in your history.
In 2008, Angélique and Fabien Cancelier set up l'Éveil des Papilles, a catering company whose reputation quickly spread beyond the borders of the Alpilles thanks to Fabien's success.
After several years’ experience in Paris working with some of the biggest names in fine dining, notably Guy Savoy and Christian Le Squer at the Pavillon Ledoyen, Angélique and Fabien decided to settle in Provence to develop their own vision of cuisine and hospitality.
A family-run business on a human scale, L’Éveil des Papilles draws on a wealth of experience in organising exceptional receptions. Since 2008, we have organised over 400 weddings and numerous bespoke events in the most beautiful mansions and estates of Provence and the south of France.
