Understand

Iffendic, a town with a rich history, is located at the crossroad of two Roman ways. Traces from the Gallo-Roman period can still be found nearby, such as the impressive menhir of Pierre Longue. The town was not spared during the Norman invasions of the 10th century, leading to the relocation of its church. However, Iffendic's resilient spirit prevailed, and the church was rebuilt in 1122 by a determined man named Jacob. In the Middle Ages, Iffendic flourished with castles, manors, and a divided parish, where 11 sections collected taxes. The French Revolution brought significant changes to the town, with its inhabitants celebrating the execution of Louis XVI and embracing a new era of ideals.

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.

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.
