BATEAU DU RHIN
Who are we?
The Event Institution of the Port of Strasbourg
- The Concept: A Unique Experience on the Water
Located in the heart of the Port Autonome de Strasbourg, the Bateau du Rhin is an emblematic hybrid venue. Both a restaurant serving regional specialities and a large-scale event venue, it offers a unique industrial and maritime setting. With its vast terraces and its modularity, it is the rallying point for the people of Strasbourg for large shared tables, festive evenings and corporate events.
- Identity and Capacity
Cuisine: A generous menu showcasing local products and the classics of Alsatian gastronomy.
Events: Recognised expertise in hosting groups (seminars, weddings, private parties) thanks to an infrastructure able to handle very large flows of customers.
Setting: Total immersion in the port world, offering a refreshing alternative to establishments in the city centre.
- Commitment: A Pillar of the Circular Economy with Le Grand Ben
Under the leadership of its manager Olivier, the Bateau du Rhin has chosen to turn its logistical constraints into a model of environmental responsibility. In partnership with Didier, Bioresources Engineer (La Fourmilière), the establishment has become a showcase of Strasbourg’s circular economy:
Zero Energy Waste: 100% of the biowaste produced by the kitchens and plate returns is collected by Le Grand Ben.
Local Loop: These resources are no longer considered waste but raw material sent to the Dorlisheim methanisation plant. They are turned into green energy and fertiliser for local agriculture.
Engineering Expertise: Thanks to the audit and monitoring by La Fourmilière, the Bateau du Rhin optimises its flows in real time, ensuring full compliance with the AGEC law while proving that a high-volume venue can be a major player in the regional ecological transition.
Its sustainability commitments
Le Bateau du Rhin: Operational Excellence at the Service of Ecology A synergy of engineering certified by La Fourmilière 1. A Vision Driven by People At the Bateau du Rhin, the ecological transition is not an abstract concept, it is a daily reality led by Lucas and Charly, the managers of the establishment. Under their leadership, this giant of Strasbourg’s events scene has reinvented its internal logistics to become a model of environmental responsibility. 2. The Lucas & Charly Duo: Architects of Change The effectiveness of the system rests on the commitment of its managers, who have succeeded in integrating La Fourmilière’s protocols into the heart of the activity: Lucas provides strategic coordination, ensuring that every large-scale event meets the “Zero Waste” standards. Charly oversees operations in the dining room and the kitchen, ensuring that the teams fully master the sorting flows for optimal recovery. Together, they prove that rigorous management and a sustainable vision are the two pillars of a modern, high-performing establishment. 3. The Local Alliance: La Ferme du Haut-Village For Lucas and Charly, choosing La Ferme du Haut-Village as a recovery partner was an obvious choice. This short supply chain ensures flawless traceability: From Plate to Field: The organic resources collected under their supervision are transformed into natural nutrients through agricultural methanisation. Direct Impact: These nutrients return to fertilise the farm’s land, creating a tangible link between urban catering and farming. 4. The Technical Expertise of La Fourmilière The smooth running of this organisation is ensured by La Fourmilière’s engineering: Flow Optimisation: Tailor-made solutions adapted to the unique configuration of the Bateau du Rhin. Circular Sovereignty: Total independence from conventional industrial channels in favour of a local, sovereign ecosystem that enhances the establishment’s image.
