Through themes that encourage reflection and dialogue, these guided visits allow participants to question our relationship with food: How is food produced, transported, and consumed? How is it perceived by our five senses and processed by our bodies? In the background, topics include resource management, food security, agricultural production, and many other aspects of global sustainability.

Sugar: the Chronicle of a Global Addiction

Follow the story of sugar, once a luxurious colonial commodity, now ubiquitous and criticized for its negative health effects and environmental impact. Discover how the spread of sugar plants, from cane to beet, has transformed our consumption habits over the centuries. A visit combining scientific explanation and cultural history, inviting participants to distinguish between desires and needs.

This visit pays tribute to those who make every meal possible and highlights the value of their work and skills.
