“The pleasure of the table is for every age, every condition, every country, and every day; it may be combined with every other pleasure, and remains as the last, to console us for their loss.”
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in The Physiology of Taste (1825)
OUR MISSIONS

Design tailor-made experiences, of any duration, for any audience.
Cultivate agility by being nomadic, mobile and accessible online.
GENESIS
Two hours and eleven minutes. That's the average time French people spend at the dining table every day...
making France the world leader in this category.
This “sacred” character of the French Gastronomic Meal earned it the inclusion in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2010.
But do we really know the world of the table? What was on the table before the plate?
Where should the wine glass be placed? What are the rules for drawing up a table plan?
How do you care for your porcelain dishes and silver cutlery?
So many burning questions that the Institut Bernardaud would like to answer.
OUR FAVORITE TOPICS
The table is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The Institut Bernardaud is constantly working to create new themes, such as the epic of porcelain, the fascinating history of tableware, the art of being a perfect guest and a model host, or the culinary traditions of our beautiful French regions...
Ever more exciting, creative and offbeat cultural content at the crossroads of history, art, decoration and gastronomy.
À LA CARTE
The Institut Bernardaud designs training modules, conferences and workshops that combine theory and practice. Each participant leaves with cultural notions, original anecdotes and tips for creating marvellous floral arrangements, decorating the table or preparing the most delicious of snacks.
Because all audiences (individuals, companies, students) are different, the Institut Bernardaud creates customized content and formats, adapted to each individual's needs. Institut Bernardaud can operate in France and abroad:
Within our walls, in our Bernardaud boutiques in France (Paris, Lille, Bordeaux)
and abroad (Tokyo, New York, Seoul or Shanghai).
Institut Bernardaud staff give lectures, workshops and training courses at third-party establishments.
