Famous local food to try when you are in France :)

Famous local food to try when you are in France 🙂 French cuisine is characterised by its extreme diversity. Despite France’s history of political and cultural centralisation around its capital Paris, each region has its own distinctive specialities: cuisine from North-West France uses butter and cream. Provençal cuisine (from the southeast) favours olive oil and herbs and eastern French recipes are reminiscent of German cuisine, including sausages, beer and sauerkraut. Wine and cheese are an integral part of French cuisine, both as ingredients and accompaniments.
