Florissant Valley Historical Society’s Bouillon Party to be held on Jan. 18 at Taille de Noyer
The Florissant Valley Historical Society will hold its annual Bouillon Party on Sunday, Jan. 18, from 2-4 p.m., at Taille de Noyer. A Bouillon, a party enjoyed by the early French settlers was a winter house party often held during the holidays.
There is a legend that the secret to a good bouillon is to “steal the chicken.” However, the historical society will buy theirs from a local grocer.
The party will include bouillon, snacks, desserts, and old-time fiddle music. Tours of Taille De Noyer will be available at 2:30 and 3:30 and will include the Costume Room on the third floor.
Fiddle music will be provided by Steve Hall and his grandmother, Vesta Johnson, both members of the Missouri Fiddlers Association.
Santons, French figurines dressed as the peasants of Provence and tins that once held French delicacies will be on display.
Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased by calling 839-3626, 837-6102 or 921-5563. Reservations are necessary. Tickets will be held at the door.
