🍗 Event: The Splendors of Medieval Gastronomy
As Christmas Eve approaches, step back in time for a feast of history!
On Sunday, December 20, 2026, the Château de Sully-sur-Loire invites you to a sensory immersion into the heart of medieval banquets. As the holiday season approaches, discover how guests were entertained and what was enjoyed at the tables of lords.
An immersion in the Great Lower Hall
For this exceptional day, the Great Lower Hall will be restored to its original purpose: the place where numerous servants busied themselves preparing the lord's banquets and feasts. A banquet table will be set according to traditional methods, offering you a striking visual glimpse of medieval splendor.
Hosted by the company "Hauts Cœurs," a renowned specialist in historical gastronomy, this interactive experience will answer all your questions:
- The Lords' Menu: What did people actually eat at that time? What were the most prized spices?
- The art of service: How were dishes presented, and how long did a formal meal last?
- Table rituals: What were the hygiene rules and etiquette before breaking bread?
