In honour of France winning the World Cup, we’re over here celebrating 4 of the most traditional foods of the French – looks like a win/win situation to us! If you’ve ever travelled here, you’ll notice there are street side cafes and restaurants serving traditional dishes everywhere you go!

Here are a few foods you’ll catch us eating while in France:

 

1.Baguette 

France-Baguette

While roaming the cobble stone streets of France, it’s no surprise when you see people walking around with a fresh baguette in hand – usually paired with traditional French cheese, or simply enjoying them on their own (just as delicious!)

 

 

2.Crêpe

France-Crepe

Originated from a Northwest region of modern France, Crêpe’s have been changing lives ever since. Whether it’s doused in Nutella & icing sugar or stuffed with ham & cheese the Crêpe is a VERY important item on French menus – so important that they even dedicated February 2nd for the delicious food!

 

 

3.Soupe à l’Oignon Gratinée

France-French-Onion-Soup

Should we be worried that after looking at this photo, we could instantly smell French Onion soup? Didn’t think so. Known as a hangover cure, eating a bowl after a night out has become a French tradition that we are TOTALLY are ok with!

 

 

4.Mousse au Chocolat

France-Chocolate-Mousse

As French chefs have been cooking with chocolate since the early 17th century, you could say Mousse au chocolat is a perfected French speciality – let’s be real, ANYTHING with chocolate is a perfected dessert.
