The experience

A chef, a table, your space.

Convives comes to you — your home, your offices, your holiday house. The kitchen stays yours, the table stays yours: everything that happens there is placed in attentive hands.

Clarisse, your private chef.

Clarisse Dumas has honed her craft through the kitchens of La Rochelle, from the simple to the refined, from first cuts to final plating. The years have sharpened her hand, the seasons have trained her eye.

Today she brings that craft to your table — whether she cooks in your kitchen or the dishes arrive ready at your door.

Dishes, moments, gestures. Menus are built as the seasons turn — never in advance, always with you.

Area

The coast, the island.

Convives works in La Rochelle, across the whole Île de Ré, and more widely throughout Charente-Maritime.

At the heart of Charente-Maritime.

I travel anywhere in the département for your bookings, with no distance limit.

La Rochelle, its bay and the Île de Ré remain my home ground — where I know the producers, the markets and the seasons best.
