Networking Lunch On Board The Brittany Ferries Pont Aven

Cork Chamber is delighted to announce our annual networking lunch aboard Brittany Ferries flagship vessel 'Pont-Aven' will take place on Saturday, 12th September in association with the France Ireland Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s gathering comes at a particularly significant time, as Ireland holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Hosted in Cork, France’s twin county for the Presidency and a key maritime and business gateway between Ireland and France, the event will celebrate the strength of Franco-Irish relations, our shared European values and the vital role of regional business communities in strengthening cooperation across Europe.

Your three-hour French escape begins the moment you step on board, with an apéritif reception in the ship’s Bar Le Grand Pavois, followed by a delicious lunch prepared by Brittany Ferries’ chefs and accompanied by a specially selected range of French wines. 

Throughout the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to connect with members of Cork’s French-Irish business community, making valuable connections in a truly unique setting.

We are also delighted to welcome representatives from the French Embassy, alongside guests from Brittany Ferries and members of various diplomatic circles.

Join us for an afternoon of great food, conversation and connections and experience a little taste of France in the heart of Cork Harbour.
