On May 28 and 29, 2026, the Centre Jean Bodin is organizing the colloquium "Du pain et du droit" at the Faculté de droit, d'économie et de gestion of the Université d'Angers, in the Amphithéâtre Amande (3rd floor), and in distance learning.
The aim of "Bread and Law" is to make bread an object of legal study in its own right, by combining historical and contemporary approaches. Bread occupies a singular place in French dietary practices and representations. Long at the heart of subsistence issues, it has taken on a strong symbolic and cultural dimension that endures despite the decline in its consumption, as evidenced by its inclusion in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
