“The gastronomic meal” is an important part of French culture. In France, as is the custom, families, and friends gather together to mark important occasions, and to celebrate the great traditions of French cuisine. It is also one of the reasons that UNESCO has declared the French”gastronomic meal” a”world intangible heritage”. Experience it for yourself – and be inspired to get into the true French spirit on your journey…Vive la France! Take a stroll in the French capital´s green parks, get acquainted with French art and cultural traditions – or shoot the breeze over a pastis in a neighborhood cafe. Take a trip to Nice on the Côte de Azur and watch the world go by over a creamy cafe au lait in one of the many cafes along the Promenade des Anglais. Feast on everything from crepes to haute cuisine in Lyon, a food lover’s paradise, or lose yourself in the tranquillity of the gardens at Fontenay Abbey in Bourgogne. Sip expensive bubbly from Champagne, extravagant wines from the vineyards along the Rhine or Brandy steeped in traditions handed down through the ages in the Cognac region. France has plenty to delight both the body, soul and mind.
