Understand

Transport yourself back to the ancient times when Brittany was settled by Britons, driven from Britain by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century. Throughout history, the Breton people fiercely fought for their independence, breaking free from the Franks, the Counts of Anjou, the Dukes of Normandy, and even England and France. Their unwavering spirit of autonomy still prevails today, manifested through their unique customs, traditions, and regional identity. Witness the resurgence of Breton art, music, and culture that has captivated the whole nation in recent years. Prepare to be swept away by the indomitable spirit of Brittany!

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).
