A book on hats and their world has been missing for several years. Here is a beautiful book tracing the saga of a family of innovative industrialists who gave birth to some of the most coveted hat collections for decades. Through the reconstituted tools and workshops of the hatter’s accomplices, we rediscover these craftsmen who combined their know-how to give life to hats. The museum’s multiple and attractive collections are presented in a layout that highlights the shapes and materials and presents hats according to the major fashion trends, from the 18th century to the most prestigious contemporary designers. From the Museum to the Hat Workshop-Museum in Chazelles-sur-Lyon, five centuries of hat-making tradition. The Hat Museum, which has since become the Workshop-Museum, opened its doors in 1983. Its creation followed the decline of the local mono-industry of hat making. It is dedicated to the preservation of the hat-making memory and the active safeguarding of know-how. It is labeled “Museum of France”. The author : Éliane Bolomier, born in Lyon, studied ethnology. Her various research projects in the Monts du Lyonnais region led her to Chazelles-sur-Lyon, where she founded the Musée du Chapeau, which in 2013 became La Chapellerie, atelier-musée du Chapeau. She has been the curator since 1985 and has already published several books on the subject: La Chapellerie à Chazelles-sur-Lyon, Approche technique et historique ; Cent ans de Chapeaux 1870-1970 ; Le Chapeau, Grand art et savoir-faire ; L’encyclopédie du couvre-chef.

The Prince of Romanée-Conti
45.00 € En savoir +BuyIcon Icon Opinion :
It is the most prestigious appellation in the world – yet the iconic Romanée-Conti is the fruit of a vineyard that is small in size, but big in history. This is precisely what Laurens Delpech reveals in this book – the short story of the Prince of Romanée-Conti, the man who turned this modest vineyard into a grand cru, like a work of gustatory art!
Author: Laurens Delpech
Publishing House: Flammarion
Publication Date: October 2020
Description :Cousin of the King of France Louis XV, Prince Louis-François de Bourbon-Conti was a patron of the intellectuals of his time such as Diderot, Beaumarchais and Rousseau and a very famous collector of works of art. His stroke of genius was the purchase of the vineyard of the Romanée which was to be called Romanée-Conti. This book reveals the secrets of this mythical wine, object of a real cult by amateurs around the world. After a biography dedicated to the prince of Conti, it allows us, through recent tastings, to define the characteristics of this unique wine that must be placed within the Climates of Burgundy. These climates are terroirs where Burgundian grape varieties are optimally acclimatized. These long-recognized terroirs have enjoyed a unique historical continuity and were inscribed on the World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2015. To understand Burgundy, it is necessary to know its climates but also to be aware of the climate, that is to say the meteorological conditions of each vintage, because the fact of producing great wines, to the northern limit of maturity of the type of vines used, is sometimes like an obstacle course where nature tries to play tricks on the winemaker. This is why Laurens Delpech reproduces large extracts from the harvest reports published since 1996 by Aubert de Villaine, who runs the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This saga of successive vintages reminds us of the difficulty of winemaking. This original, very complete book, which highlights the duality of climates and climate that makes the greatest wines of Burgundy, is written with an alert pen. It is an excellent synthesis of the Romanée-Conti which will also be very useful to those who wish, quite simply, to refine their knowledge and appreciation of Burgundy wines.
