Good France in Luang Prabang
- One event on this day
Goût de France / Good France will celebrate French gastronomy in various locations worldwide for its new Edition on March 21, 2018. Over 2000 chefs on all five continents (they were 1000 in 2016) are expected to join the event on the eve of spring. Dinners served simultaneously in participating restaurants will honour 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): one day, one menu, served in cities around the world, to as many guests as possible. In 2015, Goût de/Good France took the idea further, bringing all categories of restaurants together globally. This event marked the first concrete demonstration of French cuisine’s recent listing in the “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” category by UNESCO, and its influence on the world.
