Allons enfants de la patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé.
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé.

Arise, children of the nation!
Our day of glory is here.
For against us we see raised
Tyranny's bloody banner!

 

So What is Bastille Day ?

 

Bastille Day is celebrated annually on July 14.  The Bastille was a prison in Paris. For the peasant class, the Bastille stood as a symbol of the hypocrisy and corruption of the aristocratic government - controlled mostly by nobility and clergy. In 1789, the people stormed and seized the Bastille starting the French Revolution that toppled King Louis XVI and the aristocracy. This important event marked the entry of the popular class into the French Revolution.

As a historical symbol of revolt against injustice, Bastille Day is being commemorated world-wide, and we are doing our part right here in South Pasadena.

Tastings

Come on in every Thursday & Saturday and join us for our complimentary cheese tasting.  Every week, Nicole will put together a new selection of cheese for all to try.  You'll also almost always find samplings of various pâtés, salamis, breads and other goodies out for your enjoyment as well.  Of course, the experience wouldn't be complete if you could not sample from our vast selection of Oils & Vinegars from around the world.  So we always have dozens of bottles available for sampling at our tasting bar.

 

 

Guest Chef Demonstrations

We are currently trying to organize a Guest Chef demonstration event.  Basically, we will invite some of our Chef friends from L.A.'s top restaurants to come in and perform various cooking demonstrations.  It will be lots of fun, and educational too.  Check back with us soon for updates on this event and be sure to put yourself on our mailing list.
