the Team of Clos de la Ribaudière
Emmanuel Lortholary
General Manager of Clos de la Ribaudière
Coming from the professional field of catering, Emmanuel Lortholary wished to put all his experience, his professionalism and his passion at the service of a new entrepreneurial adventure. And, he chose well… because this is in his native town that the former boss of Lord Traiteur wanted to set up.
In Chasseneuil du Poitou, at the Clos de La Ribaudière, Emmanuel Lortholary takes over Jean-Luc Gerbier, who succeeded to Philippe Bini in 2007. Manager of this stately house, built in the late eighteenth century, Mr. Lortholary is at the helm of a team composed of thirty people.
His ambition is to fulfill your demands and make your stay at Clos de La Ribaudière a dream which came true.
