La Table des Voyageurs: meet Blanche de Richemont

Four to six times a year La Table des Voyageurs is a unique moment of travel, discovering destinations through the eyes of extraordinary personalities.

«Le voyage vous fait ou vous défait», Nicolas Bouvier.

Les Tables des Voyageurs moderated by journalist and travel designer Caroline Chapeaux, are private travel diaries where you discover destinations through the eyes of renowned journalists, explorers and, in short, extraordinary personalities. In small groups, these prestigious guests share their stories with us over a lunch signed by JML.

Emotion, odes to dreams and surpassing oneself are all part of the programme. These unique encounters take you to some of the most beautiful spots on the planet.

For its first edition, La Table des Voyageurs is pleased to welcome Blanche de Richemont.

Blanche de Richemont has been criss-crossing the desert for 25 years. In Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. She has followed a salt caravan in Mali and lived with Saharan smugglers. A philosopher by training, with a degree from the Sorbonne, and a writer and lecturer, Blanche shares her thoughts on life and her stories in a dozen books. 

Join us as Blanche de Richemont shares her unique experience of the desert. The lunch will be inspiring and intimate, just the way we like it.


Get prepared and watch Blanche de Richemont’s latest documentary « Mauritanie, à la rencontre des femmes du désert ». Available on Arte.
