France is undoubtedly the country of gastronomy, whether it's pastries that are the envy of many other countries, or generous dishes in sauce that warm the body and the heart. It's hardly surprising, then, that the French love to spend hours at the table, with friends or family: haute cuisine is part of their identity!
So, what are the favorite dishes of the French? Of course, there are the traditional dishes to be shared with friends and family, such as boeuf bourguignon, blanquette de veau, choucroute and cassoulet, as well as the famous Sunday poulet-frites, a regressive dish par excellence that takes us all back to childhood.
But the French are also melted cheese aficionados, eagerly awaiting the return of the raclette season every year, and not the last to say yes to a good pizza topped with cheese and other goodies. And let's not forget dishes from other countries, which have now taken their rightful place in the hearts of the French, such as couscous, which has topped the rankings for many years, but also paella.
