An art of living
Follow the long ‘cordon bleu’ (blue cord) to discover different aspects of the French gastronomic meal, the social practice listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. What a symbol!
The arts of the table
Admire scenes of meals that inspired painters and examine the evolution of table manners. Explore the art of table decoration and the way in which language has been shaped by the French passion for cuisine. Listen to expert accounts on the art of food and wine pairing, and browse through the menus of great presidential meals.
The French at the table
The exhibition is interspersed with a multimedia test that draws up your gastronomic profile and photographs by Denis Rouvre that boldly examine our festive meals: it is clear that the French gastronomic meal is neither obsolete nor frozen in time!
The little theatre
Then, travel through time: a little theatre combining automatons and projections allows you to experience, in 20 minutes and five acts, the origins of French gastronomy.
