Pictures of the finals

The finals of the 13th International Contest for note by note cuisine took place the Friday 5th September 2025, on the Campus Agro Paris Saclay, in Palaiseau (France)

Very early, we are preparing the event. Beautiful weather for a special day that we are waiting for one year. 

The campus is quiet, nobody here, but we have to prepare. 

A view of the labs, where we have our equipments.
