Gerard Lewandowski offers a lightweight cuisine but rich in flavours using recipes developed over 25 years employing locally harvested products from the sea or raised in the countryside.

He works with all the culinary fervour traditional in the various regions of France. The motto of the François 1er is "warm welcome - no disappointments - see you often. "

Specialities include turbot in a lobster cream sauce and sliced veal sweetbreads with mushrooms.
