The finest cuisine in the world

You can find some similarities throughout the country such as cheese, wine or some traditional dishes however you will not drink the same wine in Bordeaux (known for mature red wines) or Reims (known for champagne). Food is a very important part of French ‘savoir vivre’ and meals can last up to four to five hours on special occasions. A meal usually includes a starter, a main course, cheese plate and a dessert. Classics include the pot au feu (a meat and vegetable soup) and onion soup.

Try crêpes, the specialty of Brittany consisting of thin flour dough filled with either savoury or sweet fillings. The famous croque monsieur sandwich is another easy snack to eat at a bistro (the croque madame version is topped with a fried egg). For an unusual dessert, try the cinnamon delicacy canelé from the Bordeaux region or a classic macaron.
