Le Comte de Buffon: A scientist from Burgundy at the Jardin du Roi

|
A contemporary of Voltaire, Rousseau and Montesquieu, Georges Louis Leclerc (1707 - 1788), known as the Comte de Buffon, was one of the most important scientists of that period. Buffon is known for his work and especially for his words. Today Diderot is more famous than Buffon, but this was not the case in the 18th century. Find out more about how Georges Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, became one of the leading scientists of the Age of Enlightenment. |

The period from Epiphany (January 6) to Ash Wednesday, marks the start of Lent, and is called carnival. In European culture, this period is traditionally associated with joyful celebrations and feasts. |
|
In the 19th century, balls were the most important social events of the carnival season, which ran from early January to mid-February. Most balls had a long tradition and an almost identical programme year after year. |
