As part of the famous Saveurs & Savoirs festival held annually in Uzès, the Boutique hôtel Entraigues**** had the honor of welcoming Carole André, a renowned perfumer who came specially from Grasse, the cradle of French perfumery.
During these “Wines & Fragrances” workshops, she revealed to the public the secrets of her fascinating profession, sometimes surrounded by mystery, by linking it to the world of wine.

Can you recognize the top, heart and base notes of a fine Côtes de Gascogne?
Can you distinguish a woody scent from a leathery scent, or a green note from a fruity note?
Carole André introduces you to these subtleties during interactive, creative and exciting workshops.

A unique approach: educating the nose

Whether you are a wine lover, perfume enthusiast or simply curious, everyone finds their place in this sensory universe.
Carole André highlights an often-forgotten truth: we educate touch, hearing or sight, but rarely our sense of smell.
From childhood, everyone develops a personal olfactory vocabulary, and a large part of the perfumer's work consists of understanding and translating it.

This is what makes her profession a subtle, poetic and human quest, between science and emotion.

Uzès, a land of sensory discoveries

At the Boutique hôtel Entraigues, art is not just contemplated: it is breathed, tasted and experienced.
Beneath the historical vaults of this iconic place, the senses meet and converse — like a fragrance evoking a painting, or a wine revealing an emotion.

(Re)discover the mysteries of the arts in Uzès, and let yourself be carried away by this immersive experience at the crossroads of flavors, fragrances and knowledge.

Extended exhibition: Jean Arène until March 2026

Echoing these workshops, the Boutique hôtel Entraigues is extending the exhibition of Provençal painter Jean Arène until the end of March 2026.
An exclusive conference hosted by Claude Michel, lecturer and art history enthusiast, specialist in French and foreign expressionists—some well-known, others less so by the general public—and in recent years, contemporary Provençal painters including Auguste Chabaud and Jean Arène.

Claude Michel will enrich this cultural program on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at the Boutique hôtel Entraigues.
New works, notably still lifes, will also be presented throughout the hotel-gallery's spaces.
