Pure butter mini pastries: 2 per person, eaten in two bites, with no plate and no knife.
Madeleines and loaf cakes: to vary the flavours, without crumbs on the journalists' notebooks.
Fresh fruit skewers: vegan and gluten-free, they cover the dietary requirements.
Coffee, tea, juice and water: one 1-litre thermos per 6 people, one glass of juice per person.
