« Le menu d’un repas est le mémoire de ce qui doit y rentrer. C’est tout ce qui sort de la cuisine pour paraître sur la table »
– Grimaud de la Reynière, Manuel des Amphitryon,1802 –
As a laboratory of ideas and tastes, our Ancient Gastronomy Department is one of the pillars of Saveurs d’Histoire (know-how) : our aim is to keep alive a catalogue of “Gourmet destinations” through the most representative periods of French gastronomy.
Our carte offers an authentic cuisine based on fresh regional products and on the diversity of our terroirs.
An approach based on the historical analysis of the French gastronomic heritage.
The documentary resources of Saveurs d’Histoire is an inexhaustible source of gourmet inspiration: menus and ancient cookbooks, mythical recipes and famous chefs, historical banquets and gala dinners…
For an immersion in the flavours and scents of an era, our team of Chefs, wine experts, pastry Chefs, are at your service :
Creation of script and staging of the reception themes
Culinary advice and customization of the menu.
Exceptional heritage and historical truth
A gallery of the great chefs who have helped to forge French and European gastronomy over the centuries. A gourmet epic spanning more than 600 years, which honours these chefs, “stars” of history, who have left us an exceptional heritage through their work and talents.
The Ancient Cuisine department of Saveurs d’Histoire has collected a great deal of information on the table and cuisine of the great periods of history. The composition of the menus is largely based on the study of old cookery books and recipes of a period.
