One of France’s largest charity organizations

​Lecta has collaborated in the production of Astérix Les 40 banquets: à table avec de grands chefs gaulois! ("Asterix - The 40 Banquets: Dining with Great Gallic Chefs!"), a special publication created in association with the well-known Asterix comic book series to raise funds for the French charity Les Restos du Cœur.

Published by Éditions Albert René, the book celebrates gastronomy and the fun-loving spirit of the endearing Asterix characters. Featuring 40 recipes inspired by Gallic banquets, it presents readers with iconic illustrations of the legendary feasts accompanied by menus created by 40 famous chefs who have graciously agreed to share their recipes. Anne-Sophie Pic, Mohamed Cheikh, Omar Dhiab, Pierre Gagnaire, Gilles Goujon, Noëmie Honiat, Cyril Lignac and other renowned haute cuisine talents are some of the chefs who have taken part in the initiative.

What makes this campaign even more special is the fact that all the proceeds obtained from the sale of the book will be used to fight hunger. For each copy of the comic book purchased, five meals will be distributed to the needy through the network of Les Restos du Cœur. This charitable initiative is therefore a unique opportunity for readers to contribute directly to reducing hunger and poverty in France by helping those most in need.

Les Restos du Cœur distributes more than 130 million meals per year and helps more than a million people throughout France, not only by providing food but in areas like housing and social inclusion as well.

Lecta, with its ethical commitment, respect and responsibility to communities and society in general, welcomed the opportunity to support this initiative by providing paper to print Astérix Les 40 banquets: à table avec de grands chefs gaulois!

The project demonstrates that partnership between companies and charities has the power to generate a positive impact for society. Through the book, Asterix not only shares his fine feasts but invites everyone to join this charitable cause and help ensure that no one goes hungry.
