???????? OMG! Chicandier’s Giant Raclette Tour is HITTING Lyon! You Won’t Believe What’s Coming! ????????

Alright, Lyon, buckle up! If you thought your winter couldn’t get any cheesier (in the best way possible), think again! Jason Chicandier, the legend who broke the world record for the biggest raclette, is bringing his epic “Raclette Tour” to our very own Oullins-Pierre-Bénite! And trust us, this is NOT your grandma’s raclette party. ????

What’s the BIG Deal?

Two years ago, Chicandier and his crew gathered over 2,200 people to devour more than 220 kilograms of cheese! Yes, you read that right. TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE and a TON of cheese. Now, he’s taking this cheesy goodness on the road, hitting 8 cities across France, and Lyon is on the map! ????

Why now? Because it’s FREEZING outside, and what better way to beat the winter blues than with a warm, gooey, cheesy embrace? Chicandier, known for his love of all things gourmet and good times, is all about bringing people together for a massive, joyful feast. Think giant banquets, but with a serious cheese-pull factor! ????

Check out the vibe! ????

Lyon’s Special Connection! ❤️

Our city couldn’t be left out, especially with Chicandier’s partner in crime, Maxime Balouzat from Oullins, on board! Maxime is a local legend himself, famous for organizing big, festive events (like the Téléthon!). So, you know this duo means business when it comes to throwing a party. ????

They’re setting up their raclette grills and long tables at the Herzog Gymnasium in Oullins-Pierre-Bénite. Mark your calendars, because this cheesy spectacle goes down on January 31, 2026, from 11 AM to 6 PM!

More Than Just Cheese: It’s for a Cause! ????

This isn’t just about satisfying your cheese cravings; Chicandier wants to “melt hearts” too! At each stop of the tour, a check will be presented to a local charity. Plus, amateur artists get their moment in the spotlight, adding even more good vibes to the event. It’s a win-win-win: delicious food, great company, and giving back to the community! ????

As Chicandier himself puts it: “For France to recover, the cheese must flow!” And honestly, who can argue with that kind of wisdom? ????????????

Are YOU Ready to Get Cheesy?! ????♀️????♂️

This is going to be HUGE. The ultimate winter comfort food, a legendary comedian, and a party atmosphere that will make your Instagram feed explode. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this epic event!

When: Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Where: Herzog Gymnasium, 54 rue Jacquard – 69600 Oullins-Pierre-Bénite
