Epices et aromates Botanical

This multidisciplinary sensory exhibition consists of a display of historical botanical illustrations and aromatic plants from around the world. The historical context is linked to the role of Saint-Honoré-les-Bains as a spa town focused on health and natural treatments. It reinforces a regional identity centered on the appreciation of the natural world and the cultural history of global trade and flavors. Visitors enjoy a fragrant journey through the gallery, learning about the medicinal and culinary uses of rare spices and local herbs. The program has a significant social impact by providing free cultural education and stimulating curiosity among residents and spa visitors. Researchers benefit from observing how historical botanical collections are presented to modern audiences within a thermal heritage site. This project preserves the legacy of traditional knowledge regarding the plant world by emphasizing the cultural value of biodiversity.
