Le Paris des Arts Broadcasts from Geneva with Chef Danny Khezzar and Painter Omar Ba

France24's cultural programme Le Paris des Arts filmed a special edition in Geneva, a city framed by Lake Léman and the Alps. Host Valérie Fayolle meets two artists who have settled there. One segment visits Danny Khezzar, the young chef heading the Michelin-starred restaurant Le BayView. A Top Chef finalist in 2014, Khezzar describes music and cooking as his twin passions, saying he wakes and cooks to music, and that in both fields one starts from a blank page and can do whatever one wants. The episode also enters the studio of painter Omar Ba. Born in Dakar, Ba has lived in Geneva for more than twenty years; his painting interrogates injustice and uses beauty to denounce humanity's violence. "To paint is to take the floor. To paint is to give your point of view on everything that happens," Ba says. A final segment explores Geneva's old town, where medieval lanes stand alongside the emblems of the Reformation. The programme was published on 25 September 2026 at 12:06. Its cover image shows the Jet d'Eau, the emblem of Geneva, credited to France24.
