Amoureux

Ma Maison will be presenting a prix fixe, three course menu for Valentine’s Day, Wednesday, February 14. The menu de amoureux features hors d’oeuvres such as escargots bourguignon in garlic parsley butter, and salmon pate.

A French translation of the song, "Salut Les Amoureux", was recorded by Joe Dassin in 1973.

Molière reached Paris in 1658 and performed in front of the King at the Louvre (then for rent as a theatre) in Corneille's tragedy Nicomède and in the farce Le Docteur Amoureux with some success.

The issue of free love has a dedicated treatment in the work of French anarcho- hedonist philosopher Michel Onfray in such works as Théorie du corps amoureux : pour une érotique solaire (2000) and L'invention du plaisir : fragments cyréaniques (2002).
