Air France announced a new collaboration with acclaimed French pastry chef Yann Couvreur. He will design an exclusive collection of desserts for the airline’s long-haul Business cabin starting this month. This marks the first time the renowned chef has partnered with the airline and reinforces Air France’s commitment to showcasing French culinary excellence across its global network.
Through this partnership, Air France continues to celebrate the artistry and refinement that define French gastronomy. Yann Couvreur, known for his creative mastery and dedication to natural, seasonal ingredients, has crafted five signature desserts exclusively for Air France passengers. Each creation embodies the chef’s signature style (elegant, authentic, and rooted in the simplicity of high-quality produce).
Among the highlights are a crunchy biscuit with ganache and dark chocolate mousse and a crunchy biscuit with almond mousse and pear confit. These desserts reflect Couvreur’s philosophy of enhancing familiar tastes through refined techniques and allow passengers to experience a true taste of French patisserie at 30,000 feet.
The new dessert selection will be gradually introduced over six months and is now featured on all long-haul flights departing from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). For Air France, this collaboration continues an established tradition of partnering with celebrated French chefs to enhance the onboard dining experience (particularly for its premium cabins).
Since 2023, Air France has entrusted the creation of its long-haul Business Class cabin desserts to top pastry chefs, ensuring that every meal concludes with a refined and memorable touch. The addition of Yann Couvreur to this roster of culinary talents highlights the airline’s dedication to elevating its in-flight gastronomy and promoting French savoir-faire to an international audience.
Anthony’s Take: French pastry on Air France? Yes, please. I love that Air France continues to up its food game and showcase how incredible French cuisine can be.
