France is highly respected throughout the world in the field of gastronomy, and it is an integral part of our heritage and identity. The festival will provide an opportunity to enjoy socialising and dialogue, while at the same time becoming more aware of the wide choice of products, the great variety of local produce, and the many professions connected with gastronomy.
Live my life as a stereotype
What is the motto of France?
Liberté, égalité, fraternité?
No, no, no!
Culture, wine, food!
As you might already know, every september the greatest marketing operation called "Foire aux vins" takes place in the whole country. The purpose is to sell old bottles before the new wine production is ready to be drunk. That's great for people like us (us meaning my relatives and I) who buy huge quantitites to get discounts.
Yesterday for example, we bought 12 bottles of Côtes du Rhône for 20 €. That was our very own way to prepare ourself for today: the first "fête de la gastronomie" in France.
So, what is the point?
Well, as you will have to drink the sour Beaujolais nouveau on the 2nd thursday of November, you will now have to buy/enjoy French products every first autumn day.
Nice, isn't it?
Five ministeries are going to make you like us!
Buy French cheese, French wine, hire our chefs and eat our specialties while talking about Simone de Beauvoir or Michel Houellebecq.
Don't be afraid, but, please consume!
So yeah, we ate and drank a lot today.We had even thought of visiting Le Lion d'Argent. But a word frightened me in this text: autumn.
Autumn = mushroom = foes/poison/disgusting little things.
If you don't believe me, check the exciting press release with our very special Frédéric Lefebvre who luuuuuuuuuuvs fungus:
And if you are not asleep yet and are pretty jealous, visit France next autumn to be a part of this new popular event!
