The Southern Lands showcase the breathtaking beauty of two archipelagos, Iles Crozet and Iles Kerguelen, along with the mesmerizing volcanic islands of Ile Amsterdam and Ile Saint-Paul. These islands, devoid of any permanent inhabitants, are exclusively visited by researchers studying the fascinating native fauna. On the other hand, the "Antarctic Lands" feature Adelie Land, a narrow strip of the Antarctic continent, discovered and claimed by the French in 1840. This pristine land has been preserved by the Antarctic Treaty, creating a unique and remarkable destination to explore.

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).
