Gastronomy

If there is something clear in the world, is that the language of the gastronomy is the French. Its kitchen is the national pride of the French, and by itself it justifies a visit. Their delicious plates can be found in all type of places: from the small taverns to the restaurants of chefs recognized internationally like Bocouse, Ducasse or Troisgros.

The fame of the good one for eating French is to a great extent responsibility of the variety of its regional kitchen. As much in the coast the northwest as in the Mediterranean one we found fish of quality, as well as prolific of seafood, ostras and mejillones, specially in the zone of Aquitania, Charente, Normandía and Britain. The French rivers also offer good fish, whereas in valleys and hills we found the "orchard French", its cattle variety and milky products, specially his more than 400 varieties of cheeses. Most famous they are Brie, Roquefort, Camembert and those of goat.

The glasses always are full in France. In spite of the recognized espirituosas drink fame like armagnac, cointreau, the cider or the calvados ones, the king par excellence is the wine. The French are authentic lovers of good wines, and its country is seeded from corner to corner of vineyards. The great producing regions are Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne, although also we found good wines in the valley of the Loira and of the Rhone and in It wins.

Celebrations

It is difficult to equal the experience to arrive at a small French town with the hope to find a bed where to rest and to discover the streets full of people, flags and tapes, a band touching in the central seat, all celebrating the celebration of santo patrono of the town. In addition to the Day of the Hem (14 of Julio) and the Asuncio'n of the Virgin Maria (15 of August), the rural regions of the south exist festivales traditional in Britain and, as well as a complete calendar of festivales of cinema and music. One of the festivales that are worth the pain to visit is the InterCelta, that is made in Lorient (Britain) in August; also the annual meeting of gypsys that becomes in Them-Stes-Maries-of-the-Mer, in Camargue is recommendable. The festejos of the Day of the Hem, the Asuncio'n of the Virgin Maria and the Celebration of San Juan (the 24 of June) are characteristic by their bonfires and exhibition of fireworks
