Gout de France pays tribute to French cuisine and its capacity to innovate and unite people around the common values of sharing and enjoyment in a planet friendly and healthy way. It is a way of bringing together 3,000 chefs and 3,000 menus on five continents. On 21 March this year over 3,000 restaurants in 150 countries participated in the Goût de/Good France event to celebrate French gastronomy. This event, orchestrated by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and chef Alain Ducasse, is inspired by Auguste Escoffier, who launched the “Dîners d’Épicure” (Epicurean Dinners) initiative in 1912: the same menu, on the same day, in several world cities, for as many guests as possible.
