A Decade of Flavor, Emotion and Togetherness: O Petit Club Africain Celebrates 10 Years of Culinary Excellence

On Monday, June 23, 2025, O Petit Club Africain joyfully celebrated its 10th anniversary in a festive, warm, and deeply moving atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of Puteaux, at 14 boulevard Richard Wallace, this gem of African gastronomy—founded by the talented Chef Raoul Coly—marked a decade of passion, resilience, and commitment to celebrating African-inspired cuisine.

Starting at 6:00 p.m., guests were welcomed into a refined ambiance, enriched by vibrant artistic performances and the restaurant’s signature dishes that have defined its journey over the years. More than just a celebration, the evening was a tribute to the path traveled and a heartfelt expression of gratitude to all who helped shape O Petit Club Africain into the exceptional place it is today.

The restaurant’s management would like to extend its deepest and most sincere thanks to all those who made this event truly unforgettable:

    • To our team, our dedicated, passionate, and professional staff, who bring the restaurant to life each day. Their hard work, discipline, and love for the craft have been the foundation of our success over the past ten years.

    • And most of all, to our loyal customers, who have stood by us over the years with unwavering support and enthusiasm. Your trust and presence are the heartbeat of this establishment.

    This anniversary was not just a moment to look back, but an invitation to dream forward. O Petit Club Africain now enters a new chapter—guided by the same high standards, the same love for African cuisine, and a renewed desire to go even further in the art of sharing.

A Look Back in Pictures: A Night of Solidarity for the Reconstruction of the Alliance Française of Ziguinchor

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, the Residence of the French Ambassador to Senegal opened its doors to a remarkable evening of elegance and solidarity. Held at the invitation of Her Excellency the French Ambassador, this nonprofit dinner honored the memory and future of the Alliance Française of Ziguinchor, which was partially destroyed during the tragic events of 2023.

More than just a cultural institution, the Alliance Française of Ziguinchor has long stood as a vibrant space of learning, artistic expression, and intercultural dialogue in the Casamance region. Its reconstruction reflects a collective commitment to preserving access to culture and education in a spirit of resilience and shared heritage.

The evening was brought to life by two distinguished chefs, Raoul Coly and Dieme Youssoupha

The evening was brought to life by two distinguished chefs, Raoul Coly and Dieme Youssoupha, who created a refined and emotional culinary journey. Their menu blended the richness of Casamance’s culinary traditions with the finesse of French gastronomy, illustrating the deep cultural ties that unite Senegal and France.

The dinner brought together a diverse assembly of diplomats, artists, educators, and cultural actors, all united by a common desire to support the revival of this emblematic institution. Throughout the night, images of the Alliance before and after the fire were shared, along with powerful testimonies from students, teachers, and members of the artistic community, underlining the enduring importance of the Alliance in local life.

More than just a dinner, the evening was a statement of shared purpose — a moment of unity in support of culture as a vehicle for peace, dialogue, and renewal.

Facing the challenges of agri-food processing

Travel diaries!

At the Alliance Franco-Sénégalaise in Ziguinchor, I had the chance to talk with young entrepreneurs and students in agri-food processing.


To share my journey, I proposed an open-air cooking demonstration, using papaya, ripe mango, green mango and white-fleshed sweet potato.
It was a simple way of showing how local produce can be used, while respecting traditional gestures.

Thanks to the Alliance Française de Ziguinchor team and Teranga Tech Incub’ for their warm welcome, and to the young people for their attentiveness and questions.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s gala dinner in Dakar, at the French Embassy in Senegal!
