French Food

The best thing of travelling through France, is the food. The French just know how to cook. We really were in food heaven. At the end of a sightseeing day, we ate very well. Here some examples of our food discoveries:

salmon on vegetables


Choucroute... a very big portion of Sauerkraut with different meat and sausage on top


Choucroute is a specialty of the Alsace and a dish adapted from the German Sauerkraut and Eisbein. We also saw variations like choucroute au poison (on fish) and was also available in glasses.





And of course a dream desert .... amazing  chocolate cake a la maison with ice-cream.

 The dessert buffet at the hotel.

A good French breakfast, coffe and croissants. 



 Gugelhupf is famous for the Alsace.

 A good wine is a must.

 Escargots -  snails in garlic sauce

 Fish, sander in delicious sauce and with noodles

 Creme brulee

 A morning in the shopping market: We were amazed at the variety of  fish, sushi, cakes, pastry, cheese, bacon, salami, meat of course wine ...






The only problem with French food seems that it's rich and you have to take care not to eat too much :-)
