Salut, ça va?
“La campagne” is where you would head to if you wanted to spend time in the countryside, and France has rich and diverse landscapes from the flat north, to the Massif Central, The Jura, the Alps to the rocks and caves of the south.
Each province or “départment” has its own identity and it’s specialist local produce. Here are some regional products available in France’s countryside:

| The countryside | La campagne |
| A rich fish soup from Marseilles | La bouillabaisse |
| Goose liver pate from the Dordogne | Le foie gras du Quercy |
| White beans and spicy meats from Toulouse | Le cassoulet Toulousain |
| A light cooked wine from South West France | Le Pineau des Charentes |
| A type of fungus delicacy found underground (truffles) | Les truffes |
| Deliciously tasty mushrooms | Les cêpes du Lot |
| A light pink cooked ham | Le jambon de Paris |
It’s amazing to taste the recipes, flavors and aromas which vary so much from north to south. While Provence, in the south, leads the field in lavender and orange blossom production used in perfumes, the eastern coast has more cooked wine and brandy producers than anywhere else in France!
À très bientôt!
