Get in

Prepare for an extraordinary adventure to Clipperton Island, a remote paradise under the exclusive jurisdiction of the French Government. Despite its affiliation with the European Union, Clipperton Island exists outside the Schengen Area, necessitating a permit for non-French citizens who yearn to set foot on this captivating destination. Fear not, for securing a permit is a simple process. Visit the esteemed French High Commission in French Polynesia's website to obtain the necessary documents. It is important to note that unless a French Navy patrol arrives on the island, no officials await visitors, granting you the freedom to immerse yourself in the island's untouched beauty without excessive bureaucracy.

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).
