"My parents, retired in the region of Brittany, use the excuse of me coming home for Christmas to indulge in traditional French dishes: foie gras, coquille Saint-Jacques, mousse au chocolat, blanquette de veau, confit de canard... Everything is a real treat. My French grandfather was a butcher and, in my opinion, a real chef. He would spend hours in the morning cooking for lunch, and then start his dinner preparations mid-afternoon. His dedication to the art of cooking always inspired me."
Holiday meals in Brittany center on traditional French dishes such as foie gras, coquille Saint-Jacques, mousse au chocolat, blanquette de veau, and confit de canard. A family culinary tradition is described, with a grandfather butcher who devoted hours to cooking and inspired a love of cuisine, called 'un vrai cordon bleu.' Bistros serve traditional dishes with old-fashioned decor and atmosphere, forming a cultural pillar. President Emmanuel Macron advocates UNESCO recognition for French bistros. Paris experienced snow, softening the return to routine and transforming streets and canals into winter scenes.
