Let’s eat! When French gastronomy takes centre stage
What could be more French than a shared meal? An aperitif that goes on and on, a dish that brings people together, a glass raised in a toast, conversation that flows… At the Cité internationale de la gastronomie et du vin in Dijon, the exhibition“À table! The Little Theatre of Good Food and Drink’ explores the famous French gastronomic meal, listed as part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage.
The exhibition follows a large ‘cordon bleu’ and unravels every facet of our dining culture: the evolution of meals, the art of setting the table, the words that cooking has introduced into our language, food and wine pairings, right through to the menus of grand presidential dinners.
