Travel Info regions of france known for? ........Scotsman wanting to learn about french culture Travel Tips There are many local specialties. Try to search the web for the different sub cultures, but take Savoy for example. It used to be its own independent kingdom (like burgundy), and was part of Italy for a while. It's known for its cheeses, like reblochon, tartiflette (heavy cheese dish). The Dauphine, which used to be the Dauphin (prince of France)'s very own kingdom, is know for its scalloped potatoes "Gratin Dauphinois", literally "Scalloped dish from the Dauphin's region". I think that you can learn a lot from each region by looking at its name, and the origin of its famous dishes. You could do a culinary roadmap if you chose to! Good luck and bon appetit! Others Champagne for, of course, champagne. Marseilles for their truffles...... Reims is known for champagne, and France is known for french kiss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/french_cuis... There's a link for regional cuisine within that same article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/french_cuis... One famous food for each region!!! So it would be hard to name all of them!!! lorraine is known for "mirabelle" and " quetsch", fruits like plums... the mirabelle colour is yellow, the quetsch colour is purple... these fruits are delicious.... Franche Comt茅 is know for its "Comt茅 Cheese", its "Morteau sausages", its "Arbois wine", its "Temeraire from Salins les Bains" (it's a cake) and a lot more.... |
