Here’s your gourmet roadmap:
Brittany: Savor fresh seafood & buttery salted caramel along stunning coastlines.
Normandy: Indulge in ultra-creamy cheeses, Apple Calvados, and the best butter pastries.
Burgundy & Champagne: Wine lovers, head here! Sample legendary reds and whites in historic cellars and taste iconic dishes like boeuf bourguignon and local mustard.
Loire Valley: Dine among chateaux and vineyards, enjoying crisp whites and farm-fresh fare.
Provence & Rhône-Alpes: Think lavender fields, vibrant produce, olive oil, and the best rosé, all with views of sun-drenched villages or Alpine peaks.
Lyon: Known as the heart of French gastronomy, Lyon’s bouchons serve authentic, rustic classics in a lively, foodie-friendly atmosphere.

Plan for market mornings. Dijon’s Les Halles market is a must for cheese, bread, and charcuterie lovers.
Book wine tastings and Michelin-star tables early, especially around harvest (late August–October) and big events like the Tour de France.
Take a cooking class to unlock local secrets—and bring a taste of France home.
