Overview

Immerse yourself in the daily life and splendor of the La Rochelle merchant elite of the 18th century alongside Suzanne Van Hoogwerff, daughter of a merchant. From one mansion to another, Suzanne, in costume, will guide you in the footsteps of this merchant elite who made their fortune, like her father, thanks to the white gold of Santo Domingo: sugar. She will tell you about her daily life, meetings in small societies, the role of women, the entertainment of the time, the small arrangements and the strategies to integrate this privileged environment. Growing up in this environment, she knows all the secrets and will share them with you until the slave revolt which will lead to many bankruptcies including that of her family. 1h45 visit in small groups for adults and children over 8 years old.
