To pay tribute to her ancestor Antoine Goubier (1604-1677), Agathe Simon organized a banquet in his honor at the Forez farm where this 17th-century ploughman once lived. For the occasion, she brought together inhabitants of the commune (Les Salles, Loire, France), as well as students and researchers from the Lahic laboratory (CNRS), CY Cergy Paris University, and the Paris Cergy National Graduate School of Art (ENSAPC). To celebrate his memory, each participant of the feast prepared a dish for Antoine Goubier.
