Understand

Step into a restored gem as you visit the vibrant town of Alenon. Prepare to be transported back in time as you wander through cobbled streets, surrounded by half timbered houses and centuries-old landmarks. Marvel at the circular wheat market, where exhibitions take place beneath a magnificent glass dome. Discover the Halle aux toiles, now a meeting venue, and the recently restored Jesuit church that stands as a testament to the town's rich history. Don't forget to visit Notre Dame Church, the Dukes castle, and the Town Hall as you explore the medieval quarter nearby.

Popular Foods

The first popular French dish is Ratatouille, a colorful vegetable stew traditionally made with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and seasoned with herbs such as thyme and basil. This hearty, non-meat dish is typically served alongside grilled meats or fish.

Another famous French dish is Coq au Vin, a braised chicken dish that originated in Burgundy. It involves marinating chicken pieces in red wine with mushrooms, bacon, onions, and garlic before slow-cooking them until tender and flavorful. The final dish is often garnished with parsley and served with potatoes, noodles, or bread.

Lastly, the iconic French dish, Croissants, are flaky, buttery pastries made from layers of laminated dough, which are then curved into a crescent shape and traditionally served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Although they are not typically a savory or sweet dish, croissants can be filled with various ingredients like ham and cheese (called a jambon-beurre) or almond paste and sugar (an almond croissant).
