After two successful editions, Goût de France / Good France, a worldwide event celebrating French gastronomy was back, on Tuesday, 21 March. More than 2,000 chefs from five continents are participating in this edition.
Dinners served simultaneously in participating restaurants celebrated French cooking, its diversity and unique mix of tradition - local products, regional recipes - and modernity. A repas à la française is above all a time for sharing and enjoying.
