From the pantagruéliques meals offered at the table of Louis XV to the menus of school canteens established today, in collaboration with dieticians, the diet is part of a complex historical reality. It is these practical and theoretical relationships with «eating» and «drinking» that "Entrée-Plat-Dessert" wishes to question about a territory that has largely contributed to nourishing Paris since the Ancien Régime. While presenting the picture of three centuries of local productions, whether they are agri-food or they invest in the field of tableware, the exhibition presents the diversity of food practices of the inhabitants of the south-is Parisian on a daily basis or during friendly meals. It shows that food, an issue of public health and society, also questions the existence of a Val-de-Marnaise gastronomic culture.
