Pique-nique littéraire

"Man is born with a command from his stomach to eat at least three times a day, to repair the strength taken away from him by work and, even more often, laziness It's with these words that the Grand Dictionnaire de cuisine by the famous Alexandre Dumas opens. And indeed, France?s greatest gourmet and gourmand, the grandson of a maître d?hôtel to the Duke of Orléans, is a keen cook! The father of the ogre Porthos distills gastronomic references into his works. For the indefatigable traveler is also an insatiable eater, devouring, tasting, crunching, de-gusting, drinking and gobbling up the most refined and astonishing dishes on his countless journeys. So, bring your picnic and take a seat in the courtyard of the museum, and enjoy a talk while you savor your meal. Your mind and stomach will be satiated, and you'll learn everything there is to know about the life and culinary work of the great Alexander. Don't forget to bring your picnic! In case of bad weather, the picnic will take place at the Alexandre Dumas media library. Open to all, ages 8 and up - Reservations required
