Taste France in the Food.
Of course, you go to France for the sites and history, but ohh la la, that French cuisine.
From the northern provinces, with influences from Northern Europe, to the south with its Mediterranian “twist,” the cuisine is magnifique.
And the islands have their spin on several dishes.
Come, let’s have a taste of everything France has to offer.

Taste France in the Drink
To get the complete experience, do not forget the beverages.
In Addition.
At first, people think they know what French food is. Then they actually visit and taste France.
In other words, until you actually taste French food in France, you have not had French Cuisine.
Drinking It ALL In
The French have been preparing food and drink for thousands of years. I think they have it right by now. When you visit a destination, you need to see, smell and taste it for true immersion. You can find Chinese or American food, but is that really why you came here?
See the destination. Explore its unique places. Stop and just listen to life going on all around you. Listen to local music.
Learn of their traditions and beliefs. What is different about them? What do you share in common?
Taste France Immersion
But don’t stop there. For a true immersion, you have to taste France through the food. That means the food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What do they eat for snacks? And do you really want to skip dessert?
And you need to taste France through the local beverages. Does their coffee, tea, or milk taste different?
Maybe you’re not a wine or beer drinker. But try a sip. When are you coming back to get another chance?
It probably will not kill you, (outside of allergies), and it just might make your life a little richer.
