This special research topic is at first place an effort of mine to understand, and thereafter to present in an analytical way, a subject that seems odd and uncanny as far as it concerns our post-modern epoch. The theme of this essay is the state of banquet, focused to the upper social classes of two different countries in West Europe, United Kingdom and France, of the 17^th century. What I am considering here is the specific spatial environments and the permanent or ephemeral structures that were produced so as to accommodate these actions. A matter of main interest here is the determination of conceivable correlations between the production of space – where a state banquet was taken place- and the symbolic content that this action may have at that period.
