Goût de France / Good France 2018 - 4th edition [fr]
For this fourth edition, Goût de France will involve French embassies abroad and the chefs from some 3,000 participating restaurants around the world. They will all offer “French menus” on the same day, Wednesday 21 March 2018.
This unique global event is held on 5 continents in over 150 countries.
French gastronomy is one of the key drivers of France’s attractiveness and cultural outreach. The wealth of France’s cuisine and the inclusion of the “gastronomic meal of the French” on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage make France a unique destination offering a wide variety of ever-changing gastronomic experiences.
A region in the spotlight
In 2018, Goût de France / Good France wished to shine a spotlight on a region, Nouvelle Aquitaine. A melting pot for outstanding French wines, with the global brand of Bordeaux as the figurehead for the whole region, Nouvelle Aquitaine has a rich variety of food and wine experiences. The products of Nouvelle Aquitaine will therefore be showcased in the menus served in a selection of restaurants in France and abroad.
