  • La Bergamote de Nancy: 30 Years of PGI Heritage

    This exhibition at the botanical garden in Villers-les-Nancy is kept because it focuses on one of Nancy’s clearest food heritage markers: bergamot, protected by PGI recognition. The source frames bergamot as a hybrid citrus fruit with a history that moves between botany, perfume, tea and confectionery, ending with its best-known local transformation into Bergamote de Nancy. The event gives useful cultural context around a regional sweet rather than simply promoting a tasting or shop.
