France at the helm of Interpol: a historic diplomatic victory
In November 2025, in Marrakech, at the 93rd Interpol General Assembly bringing together 886 representatives from 179 member countries, the Frenchman Lucas Philippe He was elected President of Interpol with 84 votes — far ahead of his competitors. This result crowns months of intense diplomatic campaigning conducted around the world.
This victory is the result of extensive groundwork: meetings with international delegations, participation in European and non-European bodies, diplomatic tours… And for each of these meetings, a specific need: offer a gift that represents France, with elegance, authenticity and meaning.
It is in this context that the French candidate's campaign turned towards
250 French box sets sent to the four corners of the world
The mission was clear: to compose 250 gourmet gift boxes capable of worthily representing French gastronomy to delegations and officials from around the world — from Europe to Asia, from Africa to the Americas.
Each box had to meet specific criteria:
- Product excellence : only French artisanal specialties, selected for their quality and their representativeness of the local terroir
- The diversity of flavors : a composition capable of appealing to international palates while remaining profoundly French
- The elegance of the presentation : Carefully packaged, worthy of diplomatic use, ready to be given as a gift without any alterations.
- Logistics reliability : 250 gift boxes, delivered on time and without error, for a campaign whose stakes went beyond a simple business gift.
It was our team, from our workshop in Bressuire, who took up this challenge. 250 hand-assembled boxes, carefully packaged, shipped around the world to carry the colors of France.
A gourmet, handcrafted gift box is a way of saying: this is what France knows how to do, these are its values, this is its expertise. No need for speeches.
Why is a gourmet gift essential in diplomacy?
The tradition of diplomatic gift-giving is as old as diplomacy itself. What one offers a foreign counterpart reveals who one is and what one represents. France has always known this: its art of living, its gastronomy, its local produce are natural ambassadors.
In the context of a campaign for the presidency of an organization like Interpol — which includes 196 member countries — the diplomatic gift is not a detail.It's a soft power signal, a message sent even before the speech.
Choosing a 100% French and artisanal gourmet basket for this mission means choosing:
- There sincerity of a handmade product, made by passionate people
- L'authenticity of a terroir and producers who have a name, a history
- THE radiation of French gastronomy, recognized worldwide as an art of living
- There precision of a craftsman capable of keeping his promises, even on a large scale
That's exactly what

The artisanal gourmet gift, a universal ambassador of France
Gastronomy is one of the few areas where France enjoys universal acclaim. From Japan to Argentina, from Senegal to Norway, a handcrafted terrine, a fine champagne, a ten-year-old cognac—these products resonate with everyone. They tell a story, they embody expertise, they create a memorable experience.
It is this universality that makes the French gourmet gift basket an ideal diplomatic gift. It transcends linguistic, cultural, and protocol barriers. It says, simply and elegantly: France is thinking of you, and it offers you its best..
