France is one of those countries that has a particular passion for food. With the invention of catering and gastronomy at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, France moulded a relationship with food and the table that set it apart from its neighbors. This is one of the reasons why wines, cheeses, charcuterie and pastries are France's best ambassadors to the world.
