Deux princes en voyage aux sources du vin (French Edition) by Karoline Knoth

This book, prefaced by Guillaume d'Angerville, President of the Association of the Climats of the Burgundy vineyards World Heritage, offers us a unique insight into a little-known but essential aspect of local history.

Through a historiographical approach inspired by the German movement of Alltagsgeschichte (the history of everyday life), Karoline Knoth brilliantly tells the story of small things that reveal great changes. The book focuses on royal visits, particularly those of two princes, which marked the history of the region and highlighted the importance of the wine fountains.

Her passion for history, born in Germany, translates into remarkable erudition on this subject, which many might consider typically French.

Two Princes Traveling to the Sources of Wine is not just a historical account; it is an immersion into the social and cultural history of Burgundy and its inhabitants. Through anecdotes related to the wine fountains, the book shows how these festive events played a central role in the life of local communities, symbolizing both prosperity and generosity.

Karoline Knoth succeeds in captivating her readers by telling not only the story of great personalities but also that of ordinary people and their daily lives.

Discover how the visits of these princes and the wine fountains they inaugurated have shaped the history and culture of Burgundy. The book pays tribute to local history, viticultural traditions, and the cultural richness of this unique region.
