In October 2026, various sensory and culinary educational activities were conducted across France as part of Taste Week. In Noirmoutier, workshops focused on olfactory perception for students and visitors, using local products like oysters and salt to teach scent identification. In Lannemezan, nursery schools utilized culinary storytelling to introduce children to diverse flavors and spices.

Subsequent cultural programming includes sensory-focused events in Nantes, such as workshops and concerts at the Château des ducs de Bretagne, and the introduction of ‘Sensoria’ in Cagnes-sur-Mer. This immersive space utilizes 360-degree video, spatialized sound, and olfactory creations for activities including yoga and artistic installations.
