Event description

Art Flau and lecturer Magali Segouin are organising a series of three lectures to take you behind the scenes of château life in the 17th century. It was during this period that the Château de Flaugergues was built!

Discover the splendours of the table at this third conference!

Discover the refined world of culinary pleasures in the 17th century.

It was at the court of Versailles, where etiquette played an essential role, that French-style service was codified. Every meal was a celebration of the art of living, a veritable spectacle, a matter of prestige and pageantry.

Discover the refined crockery, extravagant dishes and emblematic dishes of the period, as well as the new exotic flavours such as coffee, tea and chocolate that revolutionised the habits of the nobility.

With historical accounts, tasty anecdotes and evolving gastronomic practices, this lecture invites you to relive the golden age of aristocratic conviviality.
