Understand

Montfort-sur-Meu, a medieval and fortified town dating back to the 11th century, played a crucial role in the defense line of the Marches of Brittany. The influence of its medieval history is evident in neighboring towns like Bde, where a feudal moat known as "moat Jubin" still stands, and Iffendic, home to the medieval site of Boutavent. Despite its proximity to the enchanting forest of Brocliande, Montfort-sur-Meu is steeped in local legends and boasts natural sites that are deeply intertwined with its collective memory.

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).
