Popular Cities in France

Traditional Sweet Dishes

Crème brûlée

Crème brûlée is known for its perfectly brittle caramelized sugar top which diners traditionally crack with a spoon, and the dessert's silky custard was popularized in France though versions existed earlier across Europe.

Macaron

The colorful French macaron as a sandwich cookie was popularized in Paris in the 20th century, and Ladurée helped make delicate almond meringue shells and ganache fillings an art form.

Madeleine

The tiny shell-shaped madeleine became a cultural symbol after Marcel Proust described how tasting one unlocked a flood of memories, and bakers still bake them in scalloped molds for that reason.

Traditional Savory Dishes

Coq au vin

Coq au vin was born as a peasant recipe using an old rooster cooked slowly in wine to turn tough meat tender, and the long braise concentrates flavors into a deeply savory sauce.

Bouillabaisse

Bouillabaisse began as a Marseille fisherman's stew, created from the bony fish too humble to sell, and its saffron flavored broth and rouille sauce made it a regional treasure.

Cassoulet

Cassoulet is a slow-cooked bean casserole from southwest France, traditionally simmered for hours so the top forms a prized crust and the meats become meltingly tender.

Traditional Beverages

Red wine

French red wine helped shape the idea of terroir, the belief that soil and place leave a distinct fingerprint on flavor, and some French vineyards keep vines producing for over a century.

Champagne

Only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region can legally be called Champagne, and its celebrated bubbles come from a second fermentation in the bottle that also helps concentrate aromas.

Cider

French cidre from Normandy and Brittany ranges from dry to sweet and was traditionally made by whole-apple pressing, pairing famously well with crepes and salty cheeses.

Two weeks felt right to see Paris, Provence and a quick Loire chateau day. Food is incredible, costs add up fast though.

Kafeene i Paris er utrolige, croissantene er verdt hypen. Forvent folkemengder om sommeren, men lyset over Seinen i skumringen er magisk.

Elsket Bordeaux-vinene, byene er sjarmerende, men regiontog kan være forsinket og butikker stenger veldig tidlig på søndager.

Book timed tickets for big museums, aim for the first morning slot to beat crowds. Smaller museums often have free entry the first Sunday.

Buy a carnet of metro tickets in Paris, cheaper than singles and easy to share. Avoid taxis in rush hour, traffic kills time and wallet.
