Plus d'infos
Through documents, reconstructions and scientific analyses, the exhibition explores issues relating to food supply, storage and preparation within a medieval religious community. How did monks feed themselves? What foods did they eat on a daily basis and on feast days? What role did food-related spaces play in monastic architecture? These are just some of the questions addressed in this exhibition, which is the result of work carried out by the Collective Research Programme ‘Conditions d'implantation en pays charentais’ (Conditions for settling in the Charente region), led by the Ministry of Culture. The exhibition brings to life a fundamental but often overlooked aspect of monastic life.
