France
Since the Middle Ages, France has stood out as a cultural center in Europe. The increase of its wealth, through the subsidy to the art that the monarchy realized during several centuries, was the most important factor that attracted until Paris to the greater European talents.

An important increase in wealth was also the one that allowed in the past the growth of a very economically well-off class who began to practice the art of elegance both in dress and in refined social behavior.

Gastronomy
When talking about culinary art without a doubt comes to our mind France as a country synonymous with gastronomy ranging from the simplest to the most elaborate. Country par excellence where many professional chefs come to perfect culinary techniques in general and the finest and select bakery in particular. Among the delicacies of this traditional cuisine are the famous foie gras, the most varied seafood, excellent cheeses such as Roquefort and its delicate truffles.

The daily food is however simple, the familiar and delicious croissant accompanied by a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee, fish soup, the most varied stews and the tasty apple tart are just a few examples of everyday cooking. Among the meats is the elaboration of stewed and roasted dishes such as turkey, chicken, pork, rabbit and venison and fish specialties are the preparations with trout, mussels, oysters and shrimp ingredients of high sophistication and elegance.
