Goût de France A GLOBAL EVENT SHOWCASING FRENCH CUISINE
“Talking about cuisine, French cuisine, is also talking about joie de vivre, delicacy, optimism, and pleasure. Ideas that are all crucial to the image of France.” — Alain Ducasse
On one night, one thousand chefs on all 5 continents will participate in Goût de / Good France. On March 21, 2016, Goût de France will honor the merits of French cuisine, its capacity for innovation, and its values: sharing, enjoying, and respecting the principles of high-quality, environmentally responsible cuisine.
In 1912, Auguste Escoffier started Les Dîners d’Épicure (Epicurean Diners): the idea was that for one day, one menu would be served in cities around the world, to as many guests as possible. In 2015, the first edition of Goût de France / Good France took the idea further, inviting many different types of restaurants to participate in the global event. The second edition of this international event will once again demonstrate why French cuisine was recently listed in the “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” category by UNESCO, and has so influenced the world.
