Chef Frédéric Vardon ventures beyond Paris’s bustling boulevards to the renowned farm Champs d’à Côté, located in Herbaly-sur-Seine. Owned by the family Rigault, Roland & Bruno Rigault lead this multi-generational family operation where tradition meets exceptional flavor.

Join Chef Frédéric as he explores the market and greenhouse gardens, where three generations of passionate farmers cultivate the season’s most prized vegetables with techniques passed down through decades.

From earth to plate, Chef Vardon’s culinary artistry transforms Chez Rigault’s freshly harvested seasonal produce into inspired dishes that celebrate both the farm’s heritage and France’s rich gastronomic tradition. This journey reveals the stories behind the vegetables, the dedication of the farming family, and the profound connection between soil, season, and exceptional cuisine.

Discover how authentic farm-to-table cooking begins long before the kitchen—with the hands that tend the earth and the families who preserve culinary traditions for future generations.
