Abstract
At the Table of Bordeaux's Elites in the Eighteenth Century. The eighteenth century, veritable golden age for Bordeaux, is a good time for studying the originality of food tastes and table manners of social elites. Close to the sea, open to foreign cultural influences, with a vast hinterland offering gastronomic riches, Bordeaux had much culinary potential. Through refinement, luxury and the search for good taste, food customs appear as a social stake and as a criterion of distinction between nobility and merchant groups. By associating tradition and modernity, the tables of Bordeaux's social elites thus contributed to the emergence of a specific culinary identity.
