Eight Gard chefs answered the call of the Lions club Nîmes doyen and it is a success. The profits of this solidarity operation go to the association Les Nîmois'es, whose aim is to make the dreams of sick and struggling children come true.
The fourth edition of the charity operation "Soupe des chefs" run by the Lions club Nîmois Doyen is a success. This Saturday 6 December, at the end of the morning, only a few bottles were left to sell (13 € for a 75 cl bottle). All the revenue from this solidarity event goes to the association Les Nîmois'es, which works to make the dreams of sick or socially disadvantaged children come true.
Eight Gard chefs take part in this operation: Michel Kayser (Alexandre in Garons), Luka-Tao Debenath (le Rouge in Nîmes), Yves Ruffinato (Le Braconnier in Garons), Damien Sanchez (le Skab in Nîmes), Vincent Croizard (Restaurant Vincent Croizard in Nîmes), Kevin Kowal (Le Duende in Nîmes), Olivier Douet (Le Lou Mas Café in Nîmes), accompanied by the cheesemonger Vincent Vergne.
Each chef created his own recipe (Velouté de patates douces, velouté façon pot-au-feu, soupe de poissons...).
The charity Les Nîmoises works to make the dreams of seriously ill or socially disadvantaged children come true (outing to the Seaquarium, the salins du Midi, PirateLand or Disneyland Paris).

Saturday 6 December 2025, eight Gard chefs, near sell-out by late morning. Benefits Les Nîmoises.
