Institutes - Cultural centers Central

The IEHCA (Institut européen d'histoire et des cultures de l'alimentation) is one of the most prominent research laboratories of the University of Tours. Here, researchers cultivate the art of eating well by conducting investigations into the history of food. What did people eat in the past, how and why? These are all questions that established researchers and students are asking themselves, and that visitors are invited to explore during events open to the general public: conferences, cooking classes, chefs' residencies, a gastronomic book fair... All good things to discover in the Villa Rabelais, the epicenter of the "Tours cité de la gastronomie" project.

For all those who want to learn to speak English or Spanish in a different way, Dora, the creator of Rock the Talk, offers a totally different approach to traditional academic teaching. Just as with music, you can learn solfeggio for months before touching an instrument, you can start a language with its grammar, but not here. With Dora, you're going to live the language, you're going to find yourself in situations of exchange, of play to learn it naturally as you did at your nursery school.
