Lecture by Jean-Paul LESIMPLE on September 19 at 4:00 p.m. Are the Church Fathers also the Fathers of the Protestants? Often, in Protestant circles, people blithely jump from the Book of Revelation to Luther’s posting of the 95 Theses in 1517, as if nothing had happened during those 14 or 15 centuries? To answer this question, Jean-Paul LESIMPLE invites you on a historical and theological journey that may hold a few surprises in store for us!

[Vignobles en Scène !] Escape game "Le millésime perdu"

The Galaxy Poussière art agency, in association with Domaine Joseph Mellot, is pleased to present a new exhibition at the crossroads of art and wine: "Les Gouttes d?Ivresse".

The Galaxy Poussière art agency, in association with Domaine Joseph Mellot, is pleased to present a new exhibition at the crossroads of art and wine: "Les Gouttes d?Ivresse". Through his photographic work, Yves Estrabaud explores the poetry of drops, those suspended fragments where matter becomes almost cosmic. In the hushed darkness of a cellar, these liquid pearls find a singular echo: here, water dialogues with wine, revealing their vibrations, tensions and sensuality. Between reflections, transparencies and sparkles, the exhibition invites us to a sensitive immersion where each drop becomes a world in itself, a frozen moment of intoxication, captured on the borderline between the real and the imaginary.
