Travellers and activities

France for food lovers

Many tourists plan trips to France every year to enjoy a renowned cuisine that was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010. Among its star products of course, we have the great variety of cheese, of which you could eat a different one every day of the year, since they have more than 400 varieties. The wine and the champagne are the preferred drinks to pair with Michelin star dishes. The climatic and geographical diversity of the country allows a rich variety of wines with a designation of origin, ranging from Bordeaux to Burgundy. The south of the country, bathed by the Mediterranean, is an important influence on its gastronomy. Try some ratatouille, fondue, cassoulet, croque Madames, Boeuf Bourguignon or the traditional coq au vin. Those with a sweet tooth, go for a nice chocolate soufflé or a delicious tarte tatin. Raise your taste buds and enjoy!
