Discover France through its gastronomic heritage

The nonprofit organization

  Faced with what has been identified and labeled as the Paris syndrome—a psychological phenomenon primarily observed among tourists visiting the French capital, characterized by intense disappointment and cultural shock resulting from the difference between the idealized expectations of Paris, often shaped by the media, and the reality of the city—and knowing that this syndrome, which illustrates the profound impact that the gap between perception and reality can have in a cultural context, is not solely tied to the perception of Paris but to all of France, our nonprofit organization has asked the right questions: How can we ensure that France, which may shine in the eyes of some through certain idealized versions, can actually live up to those idealized versions? How can we ensure that as foreign tourists, you discover France at its best? It is with this in mind that our organization was created and that our label, France Gastronomy Tours, was born. Our goal is to offer you a stress-free journey through France, worthy of your expectations and fulfilling all its promises. Our label therefore selects establishments, towns, and everyday actors—farmers, small shopkeepers, and artisans—who work daily to showcase France and its expertise through its products and ancestral techniques.

The label

  Highlighting the expertise and products of our regions, the cultural and gastronomic heritage of each French region to showcase the heritage, authenticity, and identity of France to foreigners is the goal of the France Gastronomy Tours label. This label « Guardian and Transmitter of French culinary traditions » is awarded to French artisans, merchants, restaurants and cities who strive to preserve and share the know-how and authenticity of the French identity in the manufacturing and marketing of their products and services.
