FRANCE - LOIRE VALLEY - INDRE ET LOIRE (37) - CASTLE OF AMBOISE : ROOM OF THE ECHANSON. THIS PIECE EVOKES THE CUSTOMS AT THE KING'S TABLE (THE BUTLER WAS AN OFFICER OF THE COURT WHOSE FUNCTION WAS TO DRINK AT THE KING'S TABLE). AT THIS TIME, MEDIEVAL TRESTLES GIVE WAY TO THE TABLE "A L'ITALIENNE", WHILE THE ART OF THE TABLE EVOLVES WITH THE PROGRESSIVE USE OF THE FORK (UNTIL THEN WE MAINLY USE THE KNIFE AND THE SPOON).
