Lonely Planet’s French Cuisine Guidebook – Your Next Culinary Journey Awaits

Have you always dreamed of creating your own Carrie Bradshaw or Emily in Paris moments, running around the streets of The City of Light, dining at only the most fabulous restaurants and cafés but were afraid to because of your lack of knowledge on French cuisine? Well fear no more mon petit, Lonely Planet has got you covered with their newest guidebook!

Eat France is the perfect primer for anyone looking to explore French cuisine and food and wine culture. The book will introduce you to the key regions of France and the specialties of each, covering their history and significance to the local people. It explains the dishes that you will find on the regional menus, how to order and eat them, and perhaps most importantly, essential words and phrases for navigating the French food scene.

There is an extensive section on etiquette covering all the dos and don’ts of local customs, so you need never feel awkward or uncertain. From how to toast fellow diners correctly, to never biting into your piece of bread directly, you’ll be fully equipped for any gastronomic situation.

The book also has an entire section dedicated to French wine culture which will help demystify the national pride surrounding their world-renowned fruit of the vine and help you make the best selections while dining.

“Travel isn’t about checking off a box to say you’ve been somewhere – travelers want full and enriching experiences that make them feel a part of the culture,” said Sebastian Modak, Editor-at-Large at Lonely Planet. “The new Eat Series brings the knowledge of a local to the fingertips of explorers everywhere.”

Eat France is written by Nicola Williams, a British expat who now lives in France herself. As a result, Williams is uniquely qualified to provide an on-the-ground insight into the country’s best neighborhoods and latest trends.

You can purchase your copy of Eat France at the Lonely Planet Shop or wherever fine books are sold.
