2027 edition · Saturday 13 March · Vevey, Swiss Riviera
13 March 2027
A day and an evening, between lake and mountain.
Three guests, three masterclasses.
A Recrea masterclass is not a lesson. A conversation, a life told in the first person, questions, and the time to answer them.
The guest of honour
Claude Lelouch
Palme d’Or and two Oscars for A Man and a Woman, some fifty films in more than sixty years. A masterclass like no other, from the man who has never stopped filming life.
Recrea’s host
Joël Dupuch
Oyster farmer, writer, philosopher, musician, epicure, author and actor, most notably alongside Guillaume Canet in Little White Lies and We’ll End Up Together.
The musical masterclass
Mathias Malzieu
Lead singer of Dionysos, writer, filmmaker, author of The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart. His masterclass opens the evening’s great jam session.
Inspiring places.
Morning, and night
Hôtel des Trois Couronnes, Vevey
On the shores of Lake Geneva since 1842. The hotel where Henry James set Daisy Miller, a listed cultural property of national significance. This is where you arrive, where you come together, and where you sleep facing the lake.
Afternoon, and evening
Le Picotin, the chalet of Claude Nobs, Caux
Above Montreux, the chalet of the Montreux Jazz Festival’s founder. Since 1982, one of the most singular places in the history of music: legends have dined here, and the festival’s historic archives sleep here. An ode to creativity, suspended above the Riviera and the lake. This is the setting for the masterclasses, the table and the evening.
The day, without a watch.
Morning
The welcome drink and Joël Dupuch’s masterclass around his oysters. Followed by lunch, taken standing.
Afternoon
Up to Caux. A visit to Le Picotin, then Claude Lelouch’s masterclass.
Evening
The table, at the chalet. Generous food, well-chosen wines, conversations that linger.
Night
Music, always. Mathias Malzieu’s masterclass opens the jam session, with those who dare and those who listen. And then someone stands up, and that is how the evening ends: in style, in song. Back to the hotel.
The next day
Breakfast facing the lake, late check-out, and access to the Trois Couronnes spa for those who wish to linger.
The detailed programme is sent to participants.
Participation
Price on request.
Includes the day, the evening and the night at the Trois Couronnes.
